How to get the file name?

[Anon]

Hallo,

With this script I want to upload a file, and it works, but I want to know the name of the REAL-file, which is being uploadet. Not the name on the file on the server.

<FORM ENCTYPE="multipart/form-data" ACTION="viewpic.php" METHOD=POST>
<INPUT TYPE="hidden" name="1000000" value="1000">
Send this file: <INPUT NAME="file" TYPE="file">
<INPUT TYPE="submit" VALUE="Send File">
</FORM>

The info about the files are in $HTTP_POST_FILES
varible.
It's an array.
Look at the code below:

<?php
if (isset($userfile)){ // files are submited
echo "<BR>".$HTTP_POST_FILES[userfile][name][0];
echo "<BR>".$HTTP_POST_FILES[userfile][type][0]
echo "<BR>".$HTTP_POST_FILES[userfile][tmp_name][0];
echo "<BR>".$HTTP_POST_FILES[userfile][size][0];
echo "<HR>";
echo "<BR>".$HTTP_POST_FILES[userfile][name][1];
echo "<BR>".$HTTP_POST_FILES[userfile][type][1];
echo "<BR>".$HTTP_POST_FILES[userfile][tmp_name][1];
echo "<BR>".$HTTP_POST_FILES[userfile][size][1];
}else{ // print the FORM
?>
<FORM METHOD=POST ENCTYPE="multipart/form-data">
<BR><INPUT TYPE=FILE NAME="userfile[]">
<BR><INPUT TYPE=FILE NAME="userfile[]">
<BR><INPUT TYPE=SUBMIT>
</FORM>
<?php
}
?>

You might want to read the annotations in the manual.

If you can't find seomthing in a variable, use print_r($var) to print the content of the var including the variable ypes etc. That will show you what is in there.
