It wasn't a bug for me. I just had the file_upload var in php.ini turned Off. Change it to "On" and restart Apache, and I bet it will start working for the lot of you. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-02-19 12:50:53] php at vta dot com Hi all, New here, big fan of php. Dunno if this has been covered already, hoping to help. I had this same problem all day long, until I landed here, and read the history. With some careful grepping in the php4.3.1/NEWS for 'form-data' i found mention of the 'variables-order' directive. Taking that over to php-ini, I found the directive 'gpc-order' uncommented, and noted as depricated in favor of the 'variables_order' directive. Lo and Behod, when I removed 'gpc-order', <multipart/form-data> began to work. friendly sugestion to comment out the gpc_order directive in the distribution file 'php-ini' if not done already. (Also possible that it was overlooked in the *.tar.gz file and not the *.bz distribution, I use fetch:// to fish for a *.gz distribution because even tho I love PHP I hate pointy-mashy dowmload tools on unix boxes, generally, and the website only shows *.bz2 . :) ) My build information follows, to help anyone who may need it, just in case this is not the only solution, or if this turns out to be a red herring because something else I did fixed it: Host OS: FreeBSD RELENG 3 PHP version: 4.3.1 build date 2/19/2003 8:21 EDT Apache build 1.3.27 build date: same ( slightly later :) ) Static module --with-mysql client OS MAC OS-X 10.1 Browsers: Netscape 4.75 Mac And: I.E 5.1 for mac Problem: Pretty much as previously described. Reference code sample: "PHP4 developers's guide" McGraw-Hill, ISBN 0-07-212731-7 page 84 (Pretty much same as sample code posted by others.)
