Checking blank form field where type = FILE?

[PupChow]

I am having problem with form checking, if the form input field is a file browser for file to upload:

<input name="Picture" type="file">

Can I still use the standard check to see if the field is blank? This is what I use right now and I am not sure if it is working properly...

if (!empty($Picture))
{
//perform picture size check
}

Thanks! Really stuck. :bemused:

that in and of itself isn't enough since a "file" input always submits an array. you need to pick a peice of that array to check. for instance:

if (!empty($_FILES['Picture']['name'])) {
  //perform picture size check
} 

that should work better.
