[Klug-general] PHP Uploads

[Athon Solo]

It sounds like you're trying to use the old, pre-"register_globals = 
off" method of accessing uploaded files.

The current method uses the $_FILES super global array, the contents of 
which can be shown in a nicely formatted output using:
<pre><?php var_dump ($_FILES); ?></pre>

There's a good section in the php manual on file uploads at:
http://uk.php.net/manual/en/features.file-upload.php

If you want to read up more about the change to register_globals = off, 
and what it affects, check out:
http://php.net/register_globals and the documents that the page links to

Hope that helps

Allen
