$HTTP_POST_FILES/$_FILES is provided to contain the uploaded file
information.
The contents of $HTTP_POST_FILES are as follows. Note that this assumes the
use of the file upload name 'userfile', as used in the example script above:
$HTTP_POST_FILES['userfile']['name']
The original name of the file on the client machine.
$HTTP_POST_FILES['userfile']['type']
The mime type of the file, if the browser provided this information. An
example would be "image/gif".
$HTTP_POST_FILES['userfile']['size']
The size, in bytes, of the uploaded file.
$HTTP_POST_FILES['userfile']['tmp_name']
The temporary filename of the file in which the uploaded file was stored
on the server.
Note: PHP 4.1.0 or later supports a short track variable $_FILES. PHP 3
does not support $HTTP_POST_FILES.
When register_globals is turned on in php.ini the available variables are as
follows. Note that the following variable names assume the use of the file
upload name 'userfile', as used in the example script above:
a.. $userfile - The temporary filename in which the uploaded file was
stored on the server machine.
b.. $userfile_name - The original name or path of the file on the sender's
system.
c.. $userfile_size - The size of the uploaded file in bytes.
d.. $userfile_type - The mime type of the file if the browser provided
this information. An example would be "image/gif".
Note that the "$userfile" part of the above variables is whatever the name
of the field of type="file" is in the upload form. In the above
upload form example, we chose to call it "userfile".
Note: register_globals = On is not recommended for security and
performance reason.
Love that manual,
