#32212 [NEW]: $_FILES with arrays

From: gardan at gmx dot net Operating system: - PHP version: Irrelevant PHP Bug Type: Documentation problem Bug description: $_FILES with arrays Description: ------------ Using a form with input name like name="foo[]" this is what is returned for files: $_FILES = array(1) { ["foo"]=> array(5) { ["name"]=> array(2) { [0]=> string(0) "" [1]=> string(0) "" } ["type"]=> array(2) { [0]=> string(0) "" [1]=> string(0) "" } [...snip...] } } Expected: $_FILES = array(1) { ["foo"]=> array(2) { [0]=> array(5) { [name]=> string(0) "" [type]=> string(0) "" [...snip...] } [1]=> array(5) { [0]=> string(0) "" [1]=> string(0) "" [...snip...] } } } This being highly unintuitive, though in a bug report from 2002 closed as "won't change", should be documented. -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=32212&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (php4): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=32212&r=trysnapshot4 Try a CVS snapshot (php5.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=32212&r=trysnapshot50 Try a CVS snapshot (php5.1): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=32212&r=trysnapshot51 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=32212&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=32212&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=32212&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=32212&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=32212&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=32212&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=32212&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=32212&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=32212&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=32212&r=globals PHP 3 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=32212&r=php3 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=32212&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=32212&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=32212&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=32212&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=32212&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=32212&r=mysqlcfg
