trying to use wp_handle_upload with ajax

1. You need to include a few files to get wp_handle_upload to work, and i have a function just for that :

   function My_wp_handle_upload($file_handler,$overrides) {
   
     // check to make sure its a successful upload
     if ($_FILES[$file_handler]['error'] !== UPLOAD_ERR_OK) __return_false();
   
     require_once(ABSPATH . "wp-admin" . '/includes/image.php');
     require_once(ABSPATH . "wp-admin" . '/includes/file.php');
     require_once(ABSPATH . "wp-admin" . '/includes/media.php');
   
     $upload = wp_handle_upload( $file_handler, $overrides );
     return $upload ;
   }
   

   so after you add this function to your file just change your call from :

   $file = wp_handle_upload($data['MoobLogoUpload'], $overrides);
   

   to:

   $file = My_wp_handle_upload($data['MoobLogoUpload'], $overrides);
   

   Update

   Just remembered that you must use an ajax upload solution like:

   • JQurey form plugin
   • Uplodify
   • SWFUpload

   any other or submit by iframe since it is not possible to upload files using the browser’s XMLHttpRequest object

2. I found a very simple solution here. It Exceeds any external Ajax solution, in my opinion.
