Upload file problem

cascas

I want to upload a photo into a MySQL Database. My PHP version is 4.3.3.
The problem is that I cannot get the variable with information about the file which is selected by the user.

//Input page
<input type="file" name="foto" value="">

//Action page
!isset($REQUEST['foto']) ? $foto=$REQUEST['foto'] : $foto = $_REQUEST['foto'];

When I do print_r($foto) it says Array ( [name] => )

It doesn't matter when I replace $REQUEST with $POST.

With PHP version 4.2.3 it's working okay.
Do you have a solution?

Thanks in advance

not to sure but if you try

$_FILE['foto']['name'];

also might want to check out

Thanks for your answer, but the problem still exists.

The server is IIS 5.0, is this possibly the cause?

It may be necessary to add:

enctype="multipart/form-data"

to the form tag.

Since you've already read the manual entry given in stew's link, you'll know that the variable name was mistyped in that post....

That's a good trick.

I know that the variable name was mistyped in the post of Stew, but even $_FILES doesn't work.

When I do phpinfo() after the post, all the variables are shown, but not the variable foto.
Is it possible that a setting in the PHP.ini isn't correct? It's a default installation of PHP on a WIN2K server with IIS 5.0

Downgrading to PHP 4.2.3 doesn't satisfy me, I want to know why it isn't working with version 4.3.4.

I hope one of you can give me the final answer.
