From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Operating system: Suse (2.2.16 kernel) PHP version: 4.0.4pl1 PHP Bug Type: HTTP related Bug description: File upload problem when the form control name is an array element Precis: I was trying to submit a form divided into sections, each section having a two text fields and a file upload. The form was structured as an array called $section, each element an array containing firstname, surname and image. The image details I expected to turn up in $HTTP_POST_FILES as $HTTP_POST_FILES[section][0][name] etc. That behaved as expected. The other form elements I expected to turn up as $HTTP_POST_VARS[section][0][firstname] etc. However what I ended up with was $HTTP_POST_VARS[section][0] being set to the filesize of the uploaded file, overwriting all other elements in that section. // ---------------start upload.php-------------------------- <?php print "<pre>\nVars:\n"; print_r($HTTP_POST_VARS); print "\nFiles:\n"; print_r($HTTP_POST_FILES); print "</pre>\n"; ?> <form method='post' enctype='multipart/form-data'> <input type='text' name='section[0][firstname]'> <br> <input type='text' name='section[0][surname]'> <br> <input type='file' name='section[0][image]'> <br> <input type='submit'> </form> // ---------------end upload.php---------------------------- // ---------------start input ------------------------------ section[0][firstname] = foo section[0][surname] = bar section[0][image] = ~/feathers.gif // ---------------end input -------------------------------- // ---------------start output ----------------------------- Vars: Array ( [section] => Array ( [0] => 12409 ) ) Files: Array ( [section] => Array ( [0] => Array ( [name] => Array ( [image] => feathers.gif ) [type] => Array ( [image] => image/gif ) [tmp_name] => Array ( [image] => /tmp/phpwwJSPf ) [size] => Array ( [image] => 12409 ) ) ) ) // ---------------end output ------------------------------- -- Edit Bug report at: http://bugs.php.net/?id=9460&edit=1 -- PHP Development Mailing List <http://www.php.net/> To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
