How can the PHP code for handling file uploads be optimized to include data from a combobox selection in the upload process?

When handling file uploads in PHP, you can optimize the code to include data from a combobox selection by accessing the selected value using the $_POST superglobal array. You can then use this value to customize the upload process based on the selection made in the combobox. 

// Access the selected value from the combobox
$selectedOption = $_POST['combobox'];

// Use the selected value in the file upload process
if ($_FILES['file']['error'] === UPLOAD_ERR_OK) {
    $uploadDir = 'uploads/';
    $uploadFile = $uploadDir . basename($_FILES['file']['name']);
    
    if (move_uploaded_file($_FILES['file']['tmp_name'], $uploadFile)) {
        // File uploaded successfully, process based on combobox selection
        if ($selectedOption === 'option1') {
            // Handle upload for option1
        } elseif ($selectedOption === 'option2') {
            // Handle upload for option2
        }
    } else {
        echo 'File upload failed.';
    }
}
