sice i installed php 3.0.18 html forms whith blank file-input never returns 'none'. $userfile is always unset. with php 3.0.12 my file-upload scripts worked perfectly. i know i could do samething like: if ($userfile != 'none' && strlen($userfile)) { ... } but i have alot of scripts to change. is there a possibilty to configure php 3.0.18 returning $userfile = 'none' if the input-tag in the form left blank. thx matthias -- PHP General 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]
