Hello All, I'm having a problem including an array in a hidden field for file upload. My first question is, can this be done? Can I actually include an array in a hidden field on a POSTed PHP upload field? can be done

If so do I have to encode the array. I use array's on my site and am aware that I have to encode them to pass the values from page to page but, for some reason I can't pass them thru a multipart/form-data form upload. The file gets uploaded with no problem. You are posting to $PHP_SELF, are you sure you are not clobbering your $my_array variable before you attempt to retrieve it's value? What is your register globals settings?

My Code: <form action="<?=$PHP_SELF?>" method="POST" name="sendit" enctype="multipart/form-data"> <input name="<?= $upload_file_name; ?>" type="file" size="60"> <input type="submit" value="Upload"> <? echo "<input type=\"hidden" name=\"my_array\" value=\"" . base64_encode(serialize($my_array)) . "\">"; ?> </form> The code does not compile.
