multiple forms in html with enctype="multipart/form-data"

I'm trying to send two forms, one with enctype="multipart/form-data" for file upload, the other without. my problem is only one of them is working. the submit button wont send two form.

What I've tried:

<?php
echo '<form method="post" action="' . $PHP_SELF . '">';

....

echo '<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit"><br>';
echo "</form>";

echo '<form action="' . $PHP_SELF . '" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data"> 
      <label for="file">Filename:</label>
      <input type="file" name="file" id="file"><br>
      <input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit"></form>';

if (isset($_FILES["file"]["name"])){
    $file_name = $_FILES['file']['name'];

    if ($_FILES["file"]["error"] > 0) {
        echo "Error: " . $_FILES["file"]["error"] . "<br>";
    } else {
        echo "Upload: " . $_FILES["file"]["name"] . "<br>";
        echo "Type: " . $_FILES["file"]["type"] . "<br>";
        echo "Size: " . ($_FILES["file"]["size"] / 1024) . " kB<br>";
        echo "Stored in: " . $_FILES["file"]["tmp_name"];
        move_uploaded_file($_FILES['file']['tmp_name'], '../images/' . $file_name);
    }
}
?>

Just Try With The Following :

<?php
echo '<form method="post" action="' . $PHP_SELF . '">';

....

echo '<input type="submit" name="Submit_Button_One" value="Submit"><br>';
echo '</form>';

echo '<form action="' . $PHP_SELF . '" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data"> 
      <label for="file">Filename:</label>
      <input type="file" name="file" id="file"><br>
      <input type="submit" name="Submit_Button_Two" value="Submit"></form>';

/*First Form Submit*/

if(isset($_POST['Submit_Button_One']))
{
$dataValue = $_POST['data'];    
}

/*Second Form Submit*/

if(isset($_POST['Submit_Button_Two']))
{
  if(isset($_FILES["file"]["name"])){

     $file_name = $_FILES['file']['name'];

     if($_FILES["file"]["error"] > 0) {
        echo "Error: " . $_FILES["file"]["error"] . "<br>";
     }  else {
        echo "Upload: " . $_FILES["file"]["name"] . "<br>";
        echo "Type: " . $_FILES["file"]["type"] . "<br>";
        echo "Size: " . ($_FILES["file"]["size"] / 1024) . " kB<br>";
        echo "Stored in: " . $_FILES["file"]["tmp_name"];
        move_uploaded_file($_FILES['file']['tmp_name'], '../images/' . $file_name);
     }
   }
}

?>

I think this may help you to resolve your problem.

Note : Give Different name for submit buttons. Then it's possible to get the datas as you wish from both the forms.

This is how it works in HTML. You can only send one form at a time. The only workaround is to send all your data with just one form.
