Nothing entered into the field? If it's empty, nothing will be returned.

What does print_r($_POST) show?

Good question.

print_r($_POST) gives me this:

Array
(
[totalFormInputs] => Array
(
[users] => Array
(
[5] => Array
(
[description] => I grew up in New Jersey.
[email_address] => lawrence@krubner.com
[zip_code] => 22902
[time] => 1187380627
)

)

)

[day] => 05
[month] => 07
[year] => 2006
[choiceMade] => Array
(
[0] => createRecordsForMultipleDatabaseTables
)

)

I click the browse button (by the "file" input) and choose a JPEG
called "car_derby.jpg". But it doesn't show up in POST.

Why?

Are you sure the field is still within the form? Or did you perhaps
move the back too far?

Does the HTML validate?

If the HTML is correct, it should show up in the $_POST variable. But
since it isn't, you have an HTML problem - not a PHP one.

You can see the form here:

http://www.bluewalldev.com/secondroad/profile.php?id=5&formN ame=my_story_edit.htm

I apologize that the site is so rough. We are at an early point of
construction. The site is ultimately suppose to be an online social
network for people recovering from addiction.

That is a good point. I usually leave validation to the graphic
designer, but we might have to do it early in this case, to figure out
this problem.

What's even more odd is that I'm getting the correct results in
$_FILES. The temp name of the file is there. But it doesn't show up in
$_POST. What is that about?

This is what I get if I do print_r($_FILES):

Array
(
[totalFormInputs] => Array
(
[name] => Array
(
[users] => Array
(
[5] => Array
(
[upload_file] => car_derby.jpg
)

)

)

[type] => Array
(
[users] => Array
(
[5] => Array
(
[upload_file] => image/jpeg
)

)

)

[tmp_name] => Array
(
[users] => Array
(
[5] => Array
(
[upload_file] => /tmp/phpiBxJrN
)

)

)

[error] => Array
(
[users] => Array
(
[5] => Array
(
[upload_file] => 0
)

)

)

[size] => Array
(
[users] => Array
(
[5] => Array
(
[upload_file] => 32302
)

)

)

)

)

That's what I would expect. It's bizzare, I get the right results in
$_FILES, but not in $_POST. How is that possible?

Its not bizzare. Its normal...

Cause youre provider has updated PHP. Older versions also send data of
$_FILES within $_POST. But its not a go idea to hold the data in 2 Points.

The manual says that usage of $_FILES is the prefered way since a long
time. If you would have looked in the manual before you write your
Postings, you come surely faster to the goal.

That's right... I shouldn't try to answer at midnight after I've been
out with the guys... :-)

Yes, it goes in the $_FILES array, not $_POST.

Once I got some sleep and looked at this again this morning, it was
obvious :-). Sorry to steer you down the wrong path.

I'm confused about this. How does one associate an upload with
database info? In PHP 4, you could have a form that allowed multiple
form uploads with multiple fields for inputting multiple info:

----------------
Caption your images:

1.) caption input, file input
2.) caption input, file input
3.) caption input, file input
4.) caption input, file input
-----------------

In PHP 4, with a form like this, you knew which file went with which
caption, because the whole 2 dimensional array would show up in
$_POST.

How do you figure out the relationship in PHP5, if the files never
show up in $_POST? Does PHP 5 restrict you to just uploading one file
at a time, if you want to caption the file at the same time?

No answers? I'm surprised by this. I assume I'm not the only PHP
programmer allowing people to upload more than one file at a time. I
had an easy enough time in PHP 4 but I can't figure out how to do this
in PHP 5. If an upload file doesn't appear in $_POST, how do you
associate the file info in $_POST?

Probably because the information is right in the PHP documentation. In
fact, there's a full chapter on it, and the file info hasn't been in
$_POST since PHP 4.1. Did you read it?
