Note Submitter: thomas at thoftware dot de ---- As mentioned before, the way you can get information about uploaded files isn't very helpful sometimes, especially if you are using variablenames creating arrays like "<input name="foo[b][a][r]" type="file">". The following code takes all information located in $_FILES and moves it into the appropriate variable (in the upper case, $foo['b']['a']['r'] will contain all information about the uploaded file, a very intuitive solution as I think). You may want to apply the code not only on $GLOBALS but on $_POST too (or maybe only on the latter one), depending on how you access the variables submitted by a posted formular. Said enough, here is the code: # check all information about uploaded files: foreach ($_FILES as $idx => $val) { # set pointer on variable in $GLOBALS: $var =& $GLOBALS[$idx]; # check all information about file connected with variable: foreach ($val as $typ => $val) { # set pointer on variable in $GLOBALS: $ptr =& $var; # there are more array-keys: while (is_array($val)) { # set pointer on next key: $ptr =& $ptr[key($val)]; # read value resp. next array-key: $val = reset($val); } # collect value with original key in variable: $ptr[$typ] = $val; } } Works with PHP4, comments are very welcome.
