You mean it automatically gives values to variables $image_type and $image_name ? No, it doesn't. You can get the type (MIME) and the name of the file with $_FILES['filename']['type'] for the MIME-type and $_FILES['filename']['name'] for the filename. I encourage you to take a better look here : http://www.php.net/features.file-upload and you can also print_r/var_dump($_FILES); Hope that helps, -- Josip Dzolonga http://josip.dotgeek.org jdzolonga[at]gmail.com
