Note Submitter: bob ---- Where does the $_FILES['userfile']['name'] variable come from? Is it generated by the PHP, or is it provided directly from the user? Can I be guaranteed that it does not contain any slashes or ".." or anything like that; so that a malicious user cannot place files in directories other than the one intended? Thanks
