Answer 1

The first argument you pass to FormData.append() is the name of the form element that is passed to the server. So data.append('file', alpha) in your case is equivalent to <input type="file" name="file"> - you passed 'file' to append() so 'file' is your input name.

You should find your stuff in $_POST['file'] and $_FILES['file']. Next time try var_dump($_POST); after submit to see the array. :)
