Hi. There seems to be a minor error in the page http://www.php.net/manual/en/features.file-upload.php. In Example 38-2 "Validating file uploads", there is a line:

$uploadfile = $uploaddir . basename($_FILES['userfile']['name']);

It looks like basename() is not required there. Because i found that when i upload a file using IE6 (IE6 includes the whole path to the uploaded file, see http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/fileupload/faq.html#whole-path-from-IE), the value of $_FILES['userfile']['name'] is a file name but not a path. It looks like php has taken the file name from the path automatically. (I am using php 5.2.0 and win2k.) Can someone check if i am correct? Thanks.
