unable to access the $_FILES when submitting a form php

I was getting this weird error when submitting an image for a form upload and i could not see why the $_FILES was not set as this is where the files go from a $_POST back form in php.

The error i was getting was similar to: 

PHP

Notice: Trying to access array offset on value of type null

Warning: mime_content_type(): Can only process string or stream arguments

So apparently the fix for this is in the form type.

You can add the following to your <form> element

enctype="multipart/form-data"

HTML

<form method="POST" enctype="multipart/form-data">...</form>

For some reason i always forget to add this and i get this error, so im adding it here hoping that i will not forget again, but incase i do its here!

In this case my anchor this week becomes driving almost 2hrs outside of Atlanta to one of my favorite hard core gyms in the world.. MetroFlex aka The Dungeon. The gym owners turn the heat way up so it becomes a fun sweat box and the gym members just watch from afar and leave me alone. I happily drive myself long distances to find MY ANCHOR. Our anchor allows us to have balance, focus and be as productive as possible. And if you're in the middle of a heavy set and your headphones start to fall off your head, like mine did here.. well.. f*ck the headphones. Let em break and fall. You can always get a new pair, but the iron ain't ever gonna lift itself.
