uploaded file missing filename

[rubing]

I must be overlooking something very simple here.  On my html page I am letting the user select a file to upload.  This file is submitted to my php script, where its temporary filename is assigned to a variable:

 

$lines = file($_FILES['uploaded_file']['tmp_name']);

 

This page shows the user what his submission looks like.  If the user approves of the submission they click the submit button as follows:

 

<form action="band_ins2.php" method="post">
echo "<input type='hidden' name='bands' value='$lines' />";
<input type="submit" value="Approve" />
</form>

 

Unfortunately, the submitted value of $lines is coming up as Array, rather than the filename.

The temporary uploaded file and the $_FILES array are destroyed when the first form processing code ends. You cannot goto yet another form processing page unless you save the uploaded file and the $_FILES array somewhere, like in a session.
