Description:
------------
>The default format for $_FILES is $_FILES['variable']['element'] which
of course works fine, following this format I would assume that the
format for a variable inside an array would be
$_FILES['array']['variable']['element'] but on the contrary it is in
fact $_FILES['array']['element']['variable']. Somehow this
doesn't
seem quite right to me. Granted, it still works just as well but it
sort of breaks the traditional naming structure for an array and really
jumbles the logical flow of things.
Reproduce code:
---------------
This is basically formality and really doesn't need to be hear at all,
but here you go; a sample HTML form that will produce the error:
<form action="blah" method="post">
<input type="file" name="array[file]">
<input type="submit" name="" value="Submit">
</form>
Expected result:
----------------
The form ideally should send back the file contained within $_FILES as
$_FILES['array']['file']['element'].
Actual result:
--------------
The form in fact sends back the file contained in $_FILES as
$_FILES['array']['element']['file'].
