"enctype" attribute : specifies how the form-data should be encoded

This attribute is used on the <form> element.
It specifies how the form-data should be encoded when submitting it to the server.
It can be used only if method="post".

syntax

<form enctype="value"></form>

enctype attribute can have the following values:

application/x-www-form-urlencoded: default; all characters are encoded before sent (spaces are converted to "+" symbols, and special characters are converted to ASCII HEX values).

multipart/form-data: this value is necessary if the user will upload a file through the form.

text/plain: sends data without any encoding at all. Not recommended.
