jQuery AJAX file upload PHP

Question

I want to implement a simple file upload in my intranet-page, with the smallest setup possible.

This is my HTML part:

Answer 1

var formData = new FormData($("#YOUR_FORM_ID")[0]);
$.ajax({
    url: "upload.php",
    type: "POST",
    data : formData,
    processData: false,
    contentType: false,
    beforeSend: function() {

    },
    success: function(data){




    },
    error: function(xhr, ajaxOptions, thrownError) {
       console.log(thrownError + "\r\n" + xhr.statusText + "\r\n" + xhr.responseText);
    }
});
