note 98446 added to function.extract

Here's a way to use extract in $_FILES arrays without using register_gloabals on. I started to use extract a few weeks ago, and my codes hasn't been so clean since then. The use of the arrays $_POST and $_GET is ok, but one missed doublequote causes a lot of trouble. Besides I teach PHP in a school, and this function has made my examples easier. <?php if(isset($_FILES["file"])){ extract($_FILES); extract($file); echo $name."<br>"; echo $tmp_name."<br>"; echo $size."<br>"; } ?> <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd"> <html> <head> <title>Documento sin t&iacute;tulo</title> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"> </head> <body> <form action="" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data" name="form1"> <p> <input type="file" name="file"> </p> <p> <input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Enviar"> </p> </form> </body> </html> Hope this can help anyone. ---- Server IP: 69.147.83.197 Probable Submitter: 189.140.58.36 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.extract.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/98446 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/98446/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/98446/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/98446/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/98446/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/98446/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/98446/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/98446 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/98446 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
