POST from a form - odd behavior

[jamills]

I have a POSTed form with several text inputs - one is a "file" browse text input. It suddenly stopped passing its value on to the PHP page that processes it.

I have renamed it; moved it on the page; and am printing a diagnostice message displaying all the values POSTed to the PHP script....but that one field simply doesn't exist when it gets to the PHP script. It used to work...I simply updated some other code on the page ( mostly just text) and have no idea what else to look at.

Anyone have any ideas why the file browser won't pass into the PHP script through POST?

Here's the FORM statement:
<form action='upload.php3' method="post" name="fileupload" enctype="multipart/form-data">

Here's the input line of html:
<input type="file" name="file2use" size="32">

In in the PHP script, here is how I print it out:
while (list($key, $value) = each ($HTTP_POST_VARS))
{
$arr_request[strtolower($key)] = $value;
echo $key."=".$value."<BR>";
}

Thanks in advance for any help you can offer!

what version of PHP are you using, did you or your host upgrade recently?

[jamills]

It is 4.3.3

I just recently rebuilt apache to include GD2...so the version may have changed.

My origianl problem was that the images I upload were resized properly but to a very low resolution. I thought the new version of GD might solve that - but instead I "broke" the ability to upload!

[stolzyboy]

for newer versions of PHP, you access files with $FILES, not $POST, or $HTTP_POST_VARS or something of the like...

give that a whirl

That's got the file upload working! I appreciate your taking the time to help me out!!!

Now - if i can just figure out how to get the resulting images up to an acceptible quality my life will be complete! <grin> ...well at least for today, anyway!

Thanks again!
