going nutts with php file upload

[zimu]

i'm ripping my hair out.

basically i have a form,
<form method="post" action="index.php" enctype="multipart/form-data">

one of the inputs:
<input type=file name=filename>


then, in the form processing:
if (isset($HTTP_POST_VARS['submit']) &amp;&amp; ($_FILES['filename']['tmp_name'])) {
(code to upload).


now this form works perfectly fine on another page of mine, but i must be overlooking something. i've tried var dumping $_files, it returns null. the isset-submit returns true for sure, i've put that by itself and it registers. but $_files-filename returns false, even thouhg i just submitted a damn file!!

help?

Not sure but isn't $HTTP_POST_VARS pretty arcane? Perhaps try $_POST.

doesnt' make a diff to the code, they function the same. but the problem isn't in the HTTP_POST_VARS, its in the $_FILES['filename'][] part of it...

Hm, perhaps file uploading is disabled in php.ini?

 

[zimu]

nope, works fine in another file in a subdirectory

Shouldn't it be:


if (isset($HTTP_POST_VARS['submit']) &amp;&amp; isset($_FILES['filename']['tmp_name'])) {

?

Also, not trying to offend you, but make absolutely sure that the file input is within the < form > < / form >
tags.

the addition of the isset makes no difference, added it.
and the file input is defintely within the form tags (no offense taken 🙂
