[PHP] $HTTP_POST_VARS problem
Hi there, I'm currently using PHP 4.2.2 and I am have encountered some problems when trying to access $HTTP_POST_VARS. The following statements have the following return values: echo $HTTP_POST_VARS['userfile']; = C:\\Documents and Settings\\Administrator\\Desktop\\IR Files\\gmp1.ir echo $userfile; = C:\\Documents and Settings\\Administrator\\Desktop\\IR Files\\gmp1.ir echo $HTTP_POST_VARS['userfile']['name']; = NOTHING RETURNED echo $HTTP_POST_VARS['userfile']['size']; = NOTHING RETURNED echo $userfile_size; = NOTHING RETURNED echo $userfile_name; = NOTHING RETURNED Does anyone know what the problem is? I suspect that the '\\' in the path may have something to do with it. Thanks, Lee -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Re: [PHP] $HTTP_POST_VARS problem
Think you want $HTTP_POST_FILES rather than $HTTP_POST_VARS. As in $HTTP_POST_FILES['userfile']['name']; HTH, Richy == Richard Black Senior Developer, DataVisibility Ltd - http://www.datavisibility.com Tel: 0141 951 3481 Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Lee P.

Thanks for all the replies.

Re: [PHP] $HTTP_POST_VARS problem
It looks to me like you are trying to get an uploaded file? If so, it isn't $HTTP_POST_VARS, it is $HTTP_POST_FILES or $_FILES if you are using a version of PHP that has super globals.
