uploaded file not passed to function

[tunari]

Hi,

I am having trouble passing a file to a function. User uploads a file. If I manage the file directly, without a function, things work fine:

echo "Uploaded file size was $userfile_size";

returns the size of the uploaded file.

But if I try to manage the file within a function:

function processImage($userfile) {
   if (is_uploaded_file($userfile) {
       echo "Uploaded file size was $userfile_size";
       // more stuff here
   }
}

processImage($userfile);

No file size is returned, even though I get the message "Uploaded file size was ", proving that the is_uploaded_file function correctly got the $userfile variable. I also cannot do other functions on the file, like ResizeImageUsingGD($userfile).

Any idea as to what gives?

Thanks in advance!

$userfile_size is a different variable to $userfile.

You'll have to:

a) Pass all of the file vars
b) Globalise the file vars (ick)
c) Use the $_FILES['userfile'] array (PHP4.1.x+) or $HTTP_POST_FILES['userfile'] array (olde PHP4) - the prefered option

Thanks so much for the help! I can now get one image to upload fine😃. I even got the bulk upload to work. Here's my code, just in case anyone is interested. I have HTML form fields named userfile1, userfile2, etc.

for ($i = 1; $i < 11; $i++) {
   $userfilenumber = "userfile" . $i;
   if ($$userfilenumber) {
      $filename = $_FILES["$userfilenumber"]['name'];
      echo "Name here was $filename";
      doupload($_FILES["$userfilenumber"], $filename);
   }
}

the function doupload processes the images one by one,
