ENCTYPE=MULTIPART/FORM-DATA: a problem

[Anon]

Dear All,

I met a problem: on my new server, when I use METHOD=POST and ENCTYPE=MULTIPART/FORM-DATA for a form (to upload a file), I get strange things happened.

First of all, text fields seem to be passed incorrectly. Any text field from form after submitting it, has a newline symbol as the first symbol of it, even if I haven't input anything in the field.

Then, files which I upload through this form, seem to be broken somehow when they are uploaded. For example, if I upload a image, function GetImageSize does not recognize uploaded file as an image. I think, some newlines are added there to...

Please help me with an advice, what should be adjusted in configuration, or what should I use instead of MULTIPART/FORM-DATA... I appreciate.

Alex.

Hi!

I had exactly the same problem and came here looking for an answer, but there was none.

I code on offline linux box, so I have to use Netscape browser to check how my php is doing.

However in the meantime, I installed php on a server and connected with IE. There was no problem with forms at all..

It seems for me that it is yet another netscape only bug..

Thanks god my project is an intranet so I can be pretty sure that noone will ever be using this crap to view it.

Anyway, if anyone has an idea how to work around this..?

Regards,

Hi there,

I think I have the same kind of problem.
I use a form to upload an image file + submit 'standard' text fields. Form declared by: <form action="upload.php"
enctype="multipart/form-data" method="post">

Text fields aren't passed thru to the called page (upload.php).
Solution is to take off 'enctype="multipart/form-data"', then text fields are passed thru, but the file is not uploaded.
My files are hosted on www.free.fr.

Does anyone know how to pass all the data (file + text fields) with 'enctype="multipart/form-data"' ?

Thank you !
