$_FILES appears to be empty...

[hans2504]

I'm trying to upload an image to post on user profiles. But each time that I try an upload script I get errors. I tried simply checking for any activity within $_FILES and $HTTP_POST_FILES with the following:

echo "<br />1." . $_FILES['userfile']['name'];
echo "<br />2." . $_FILES['userfile']['tmp_name'];
echo "<br />3." . $HTTP_POST_FILES['userfile'][name];
echo "<br />4." . $HTTP_POST_FILES['userfile']['tmp_name']; 
echo "<br />5." . $_FILES['userfile']['error'];
echo "<br />6." . $_POST['userfile'];
echo "<br />7." . $_POST['userfile']['tmp_name'];
echo "<br />8." . $_POST['userfile']['error'];

The result is:

1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6. filename.extension
7. first letter of filename
8. first letter of filename

Any help would be appreciated...

Can you show us the HTML form you used to upload the file? Also, if you're trying to analyze an array (e.g. $_FILES) for debugging purposes, it might be easier to use [man]print_r/man.

at a guess you left enctype="multipart/form-data" out of the form, that's a common mistake
