File upload - El Forum - 03-19-2013

I have a form which accepts user inputs and a file.
I am not using the CI upload class and want to use the core php in uploading.
My problem is when I check if the $_FILES is empty or not.
I'm not sure why $_FILES is ignored in CI. Please have a look
<code>
<form acti echo base_url('documents/save_document'); ?>" id="new_document_form" class="forms" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
<input type="file" name="attached_file" id="attached_file" accept="application/pdf" multiple>
</form>
----
controller
----
if (!empty($_FILES['attached_file']['tmp_name']))
{
$data['errors'] = 'a';
}
else
{
$data['errors'] = 'b';
}
</code>
Here is my jquery form submit code
<code>
$('#new_document_form').on('submit', function(){
var save_form = $(this);
alert(save_form.serialize()
;return false;
});
</code>
input:file value not showing in alert

<form acti echo base_url(‘documents/save_document’); ?>” id=“new_document_form” class=“forms” method=“post” enctype=“multipart/form-data”>
Should that not be:
<form acti echo base_url(‘documents/save_document’); ?>”
?
