From: abner@criticalnexus.com Operating system: All PHP version: 4.1.1 PHP Bug Type: Website problem Bug description: $_FILES and other global array are not documented The $_FILES array is the worst of these. Its existence can be deduced only by looking at the naming scheme of the new arrays versus the old one (or typing $_FILES in Google!), but it'd be nice to see this nifty new feature documented. I figure the main reason people people still use $postvar instead of $HTTP_POST_VARS['postvar'] is because of lazyness, so at least $_POST['postvar'] will help wrangle them in the right direction. Maybe. Anyways... here are a couple of places where it would have been nice to see some info. http://www.php.net/release_4_1_0.php http://www.php.net/manual/en/features.file-upload.php http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.variables.predefined.php http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.variables.external.php -Abner -- Edit bug report at: http://bugs.php.net/?id=15093&edit=1
