[RESOLVED] (!isset($HTTP_POST_FILES['filename']))

[sys4dm1n]

I am trying to check to make sure a file has actually been submitted. All of my error checking works except the section to make sure the file to upload isn't empty.

It almost acts as if it skips my code:

if (!isset($HTTP_POST_FILES['userfile'])) {
	header ("Location: index.php?error=1");
	exit; } 

Any ideas?

I am using PHP 4.4.2 on Linux

You should really be using the $POST and $FILES array for this, not the old-fashioned $HTTP* arrays. I would probably do:

if(!is_uploaded_file($_FILES['userfile']['tmp_name'])

...where 'userfile' is the name of the file input element in your form.
