How do you handle file uploads in Joomla?

Answer: Joomla handles file uploads through a combination of:

Form Fields: Use the “File” type input field in your Joomla forms.
PHP Configuration: Ensure your `php.ini` settings allow file uploads (e.g., `upload_max_filesize`, `post_max_size`).
Joomla Media Manager: Uploaded files can be managed and accessed through Joomla’s built-in Media Manager.
Extensions: Extensions like JUpload can provide additional file upload features and customization.

In essence: You create a form with a file input, configure PHP settings, and utilize Joomla’s tools for management.
