Processing input from textbox and file in PHP form

I have tried making a html and php page for taking input and processing them respectively. In the HTML page, user is given a option of either give a text or upload the file.

[php]

input1          
or paste below:

    
Similarly in the PHP page, i could succesfuly transfer the uploaded file from the html page to a varible and run the shell script but unable to process the content from textbox. <?php $a = $_FILES['file']['tmp_name']; $c = (isset($_POST['sequence1'])) ? $_POST['sequence1'] : false; if($a!=NULL) { $output=shell_exec("sh server.sh $a"); } elseif ($c!=NULL){ $output=shell_exec("sh server.sh $c");} else{ echo No input;} ?>[/php]

Can anybody suggest which would help me to solve this problem.
