Bug #17767: Unclarity on the $_name $_type $_size Variable Extensions

From: Lakario@msn.com Operating system: Windows XP PHP version: 4.1.2 PHP Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Bug description: Unclarity on the $_name $_type $_size Variable Extensions I am having a lot of trouble with the $_name, $_size, and $_type variable extensions. I have a basic file upload system however it is within in a function. Sometimes when I declare the formentioned variables in a global statement such as global $file_name I can get a value from $name, other times, I get nothing. Can someone clarify this because I was unable to find anything in the manual? -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=17767&edit=1 -- Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=17767&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=17767&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=17767&r=needtrace Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=17767&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=17767&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=17767&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=17767&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=17767&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=17767&r=globals
