I\'m using jQuery and Ajax for my forms to submit data and files but I\'m not sure how to send both data and files in one form?

The problem I had was using the wrong jQuery identifier.

You can upload data and files with one form using ajax.

PHP + HTML

    
    
    
    
    Submit

jQuery + Ajax

$("form#data").submit(function(e) {
    e.preventDefault();    
    var formData = new FormData(this);

    $.ajax({
        url: window.location.pathname,
        type: 'POST',
        data: formData,
        success: function (data) {
            alert(data)
        },
        cache: false,
        contentType: false,
        processData: false
    });
});

Short Version

$("form#data").submit(function(e) {
    e.preventDefault();
    var formData = new FormData(this);    

    $.post($(this).attr("action"), formData, function(data) {
        alert(data);
    });
});
