Re: QuickForm file element uploading issue

Hi! Alexander F. Payne wrote:

In trying to use HTML::QuickForm I'm running into an issue previously discussed on this list. In the function I have set up to process my QuickForm-based file upload form I do the following: global $file; if ($file->isUploadedFile()) {

        $file->moveUploadedFile('uploads');

} else {

        print "No file uploaded";

} Other posts to this list indicate that defining $file globally will work if $file is defined in the QuickForm display function: $file =& $form->addElement('file', 'filename', 'File:'); However, when I try to upload files using this code I get the following error: Fatal error: Call to a member function on a non-object in /Library/WebServer/Documents/publications.php on line 161 I'm running PHP 5, if that makes any difference. Thoughts?

My thoughts are: if you do addElement() in a function, then you need to declare $file global there as well. That's basic PHP.
