How to create php variable from ..

[gujarati]

I want to create a variable of:

$HTTP_POST_FILES['userfile']['name']

I am creating a image upload page. I can display the file name using

echo "<br>File Name: ".$HTTP_POST_FILES['userfile']['name']."<br>\n";

But I want to store the name in a variable.

any help appreciated.

Thanks,
Vp.

Hi, ummm, $HTTP_POST_FILES is an array. An array is simply a variable that holds a set of values, instead of a single value. There really is no reason not to use it, but you can set the value (if you really want, but it's a waste of time) of it to another one by doing:

$newvar = $HTTP_POST_FILES['userfile']['name'];

Hope that helps,
Matt

ok, just go to www.php.net, download their php manual, it will be helpful for you.

once downloaded, browse to Features -> Handling file upload.
I confirm all the upload problem you have and might have will be solved.
