I have had a file upload script working in 4.0.5, but I just upgraded to 4.1.2 and have been getting problems with the $HTTP_POST_FILES['userfile']['tmp_name'] variable.

It seems that it always returns 'n' as the temporary filename.  I have tried replacing $HTTP_POST_FILES with the new $_FILES variable, but I still get the same problem.

It would be great if you can help!!

Thanks guys

$HTTP_POST_FILES['userfile'] is "none" when 
an upload fails (eg. due to size restrictions)

so you should check for 

  is_array($HTTP_POST_FILES['userfile']) 

first

changed to "Documentation problem"

Hmm the thing is I can get the information from all of the other parts of the array, the original filename and file type all come out correct, but the temp name is still 'n'...

In PHP 4.2.0 (and above) there will be also an 'error'
entry in the array which has some more info:

/* Errors */
#define UPLOAD_ERROR_A  1  /* Uploaded file exceeded upload_max_filesize */
#define UPLOAD_ERROR_B  2  /* Uploaded file exceeded MAX_FILE_SIZE */
#define UPLOAD_ERROR_C  3  /* Only partiallly uploaded */
#define UPLOAD_ERROR_D  4  /* No file uploaded */
#define UPLOAD_ERROR_E  5  /* Uploaded file size 0 bytes */

It's 0 if the upload was succesful.

For somethings version of RedHat Linux, you need modify the php.ini (/etc/php.ini), search a line:

file_uploads=Off

modify to:

file_uploads=On

And everything is Ok.

See you.

Documentation is now clear on that too.
