Description:
------------
While uploading a file using a script the $_FILES['userfile']['name'] variable returns the entire upload path, but only when using IE.  The issue does not show up using Firefox.

Using IE:

$_FILES['userfile']['name'] -> C:\Documents and Settings\RARankin\Desktop\groupe_alliance_2004_gb.jpg

Using Firefox:

$_FILES['userfile']['name'] -> groupe_alliance_2004_gb.jpg

Didnt happen before updating to 4.3.10+, I'm using a dev version due to compilation errors w/ GD in *.10.

Error showed itself w/ phpBB's attachment modification.

I don't think this is a bug in PHP, it's a questionable design feature of IE. PHP is just returning the unmodified filename supplied by the client as part of the upload process. If you wish to obtain just the filename you should probably use basename($_FILES['userfile']['name']).

Reproduced after upgrading to 4.3.11-dev.
I'm using php4-STABLE-200501210930 due to bug #31398.
