It is not possible to create nested forms in HTML, the server side language is irrelevant.

You can have multiple submit buttons and use the value of the successful one (i.e. the one that was used to submit the form) to decide if you should accept an image upload and return to the form (repopulated it with the submitted data) or process the other submitted data.

FORMS are part of HTML and not part of PHP at all. And HTML doesn't allow you to have nested FORMS. The best bet, if you want to upload the image and preview before you submit the actual user data would be to use some JS and an IFRAME to simulate nested forms.

An example of what I explained is here : http://www.openjs.com/articles/ajax/ajax_file_upload/

NOTE This is NOT an Ajax file upload (noted in the article too). But this will help you do what you are looking for
