Hi,
I have been using PHP for some time now and I, for one,
never had such problems. I'm pretty sure the problem is elsewhere.
For instance, when creating the HTML form, you have to make
sure everything is quoted perfectly:
<FORM actip="script.php" method="POST">
<INPUT type="hidden" name="example" value="some_val">
</FORM>
And then in PHP, you have to quote indexes of an associative array:
$_POST["example"].
When uploading files, remeber to use the
<form enctype="multipart/form-data" ...
Cheers,
Catalin
