#18818 [NEW]: $userfile from fileupload is returning null instead of "NONE"

From: simon@nzservers.com Operating system: redhat 7.1 & redhat 7.2 PHP version: 4.2.2 PHP Bug Type: Unknown/Other Function Bug description: $userfile from fileupload is returning null instead of "NONE" After upgrading from 4.1.2 to 4.2.2 the behaviour of the returned $userfile has changed. 4.1.2 returned "NONE" on a file not being present, and 4.2.2 returns a null value. We have register_globals set to on, none of the remaining configuration has changed. After reverting to php 4.1.2 the problem disappears. Other config info: Kernel 2.4.18 apache versions 1.3.20 (our test servers )and 1.3.26 (our production servers. configuration string: './configure' '--with-apxs=/usr/local/apache/bin/apxs' '--with-xml' '--enable-bcmath' '--enable-calendar' '--enable-ftp' '--with-gd=../gd-1.8.4' '--with-jpeg-dir=/usr/local' '--with-png-dir=/usr' '--with-imap=../imap-2001.BETA.SNAP-0105220031' '--with-mcrypt' '--with-ming=../ming-0.1.1' '--with-mysql' '--with-pear' '--enable-track-vars' '--with-ttf' '--enable-versioning' '--with-zlib' Another php coders post on the same issue: http://groups.google.com/groups?q=file+upload+php+NONE&start=10&hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&scoring=d&selm=note-23727%40php.net&rnum=14 The above link includes plenty of examples between different versions of php. regards, Simon -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=18818&edit=1 -- Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=18818&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=18818&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=18818&r=needtrace Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=18818&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=18818&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=18818&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=18818&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=18818&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=18818&r=globals
