YourNameHere Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 I am trying to put the name of a file into a database. the simplest method would be to grab the name from the post data from the form. This isnt working. the column remains empty. I tryied $_FILES[$fieldname]['tmp_name'] to no avail. I am lost. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Baker Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 $_FILES is a simple non-associative array Use $_FILES[0] rather than $_FILES[$fieldname] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ignace Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 $_FILES is a simple non-associative array Use $_FILES[0] rather than $_FILES[$fieldname] Euhm.. $_FILES['userfile']['name'] The original name of the file on the client machine. $_FILES['userfile']['type'] The mime type of the file, if the browser provided this information. An example would be "image/gif". This mime type is however not checked on the PHP side and therefore don't take its value for granted. $_FILES['userfile']['size'] The size, in bytes, of the uploaded file. $_FILES['userfile']['tmp_name'] The temporary filename of the file in which the uploaded file was stored on the server. $_FILES['userfile']['error'] The error code associated with this file upload. This element was added in PHP 4.2.0 Multiple files are accessed as: $_FILES['userfile']['name'][0] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
