It seems that it always returns 'n' as the temporary filename. I have tried replacing $HTTP_POST_FILES with the new $_FILES variable, but I still get the same problem. It would be great if you can help!! Thanks guys ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-04-04 06:12:04] dom@brainwaveuk.com Hmm the thing is I can get the information from all of the other parts of the array, the original filename and file type all come out correct, but the temp name is still 'n'... ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-04-04 06:05:04] hholzgra@php.net $HTTP_POST_FILES['userfile'] is "none" when an upload fails (eg. due to size restrictions) so you should check for is_array($HTTP_POST_FILES['userfile']) first changed to "Documentation problem" ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
