ID: 17958 Updated by: ddp@deakin.edu.au Reported By: ddp@deakin.edu.au Status: Feedback Bug Type: Apache2 related Operating System: Linux 2.4.18 PHP Version: 4.2.1 New Comment: Sorry, yes the output with the <input type="file"> line in the html is: print_r( Array ) :Array ( [VAR1] => 1 ) Without the above line, VAR1 and VAR2 are displayed. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-06-25 11:08:15] sniper@php.net Just to clarify this: That last hidden field is not in $_POST ? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-06-25 00:28:53] ddp@deakin.edu.au When I include an <input type=file> in a form and post it (whether or not I actually upload a file) the $_POST vars are cut short. This is with Apache-2.0.39 and both php-4.2.1 and with a CVS version (from 25 June 2002). See the script (tst.php) below: <html> <head> <title>File Upload Test</title> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;"> </head> <body bgcolor="#FFFFFF"> <pre> <?php print "print_r( $_POST ) :"; if (isset($_POST)) { print_r($_POST); } ?> </pre> <form enctype="multipart/form-data" action="tst.php" method="post"> <input type="hidden" name="VAR1" value="1"> Send this file: <input type="file" name="userfile[]"> <!-- comment out the line above for VAR2 to be successfully posted --> <input type="hidden" name="VAR2" value="2"> <input type="submit" value="Test"> </form> </body> </html> ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=17958&edit=1
