How to add HTML <input> formenctype Attribute
Send form-data that is default encoded (the first submit button), and encoded as "multipart/form-data" (the second submit button):
Definition and Usage
The formenctype attribute specifies how the form-data should be encoded when submitting it to the server (only for forms with method="post")
The formenctype attribute overrides the enctype attribute of the <form> element.
Note: The formenctype attribute is used with type="submit" and type="image".
Browser Support
The numbers in the table specify the first browser version that fully supports the attribute.

| text/plain | Sends data without any encoding at all. Not recommended |
