Greetings, Ivo ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-06-12 10:46:28] ivo@ibuildings.nl I have a form with an <input type="file"> element. If I use Internet Explorer 5.5 to save the form, but *don't* upload a file, there's still an entry in $HTTP_POST_VARS (with empty name, but with a valid mimetype (octet-stream)). This entry should not be there. If I use Mozilla to do the same, it works ok, and $HTTP_POST_FILES is an empty array. You would say this is a browser bug. However, with PHP 4.0.6, we didn't have this problem. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=17729&edit=1
