[PHP] Variable in $_FILES?

[Dimitri Marshall]

Hi there,
This is what I'm trying to do:

$pic = $_FILES['object$objectNumber'];
$picName = $pic['name'];
$pictmp = $pic['tmp_name'];

$objectNumber is being defined, but for some reason this code won't work.
Can someone tell me why and also what I can do to make it work?

Thanks in advance,
Dimitri Marshall

$_FILES[object$objectnumber] will do it...
( or $_FILES['object'.$objectnumber] )

When you enclose a string in double quotes () PHP will interpolate 
variables within the string, as you are trying to do.

When you enclose a string with '' it will be treated as a literal.

You may also consider object{$objectnumber} if you need to avoid 
ambiguities with the rest of your string. I personally think it's a good 
habit to use the curlies anyway, but I'm sure that's a matter of debate..
