Re: QuickForm 3.2 file upload bug?

Hi! Tim Glen wrote:

I updated to QuickForm 3.2 a couple days ago and just noticed something strange on one of my pages. When I was uploading a file, QuickForm wasn't seeing it. It existed in the $_FILES array but it wasn't being set as the value for the file object. Testing for upload using $upload_file->isUploadedFile(); returned false.

I suspect this has nothing to do with upgrade to 3.2

After some testing and trying, I found that it made a difference how I created the element: // this doesn't work $upload_file = &HTML_QuickForm::createElement('file', 'the_file', 'upload file'); $form->addElement($upload_file); // this works $form->addElement('file', 'the_file', 'upload file'); $upload_file = $form->getElement('the_file'); When I create the field statically, the field gets created properly, but the _value isn't being set properly inside the file class. When I do it the second way, everything works fine.
