Yes got all that but if I use this:


<?php
global $userfile, $userfile_name, $userfile_size, $userfile_type;

echo "1.".$userfile, "1.".$userfile_name, "1.".$userfile_size, 
"1.".$userfile_type;
echo $MAX_FILE_SIZE;



?>

<form enctype="multipart/form-data" method="post">
<input type="hidden" name="MAX_FILE_SIZE" value="51200">
<input type="file" name="userfile"><br>
<input type="submit" value="Upload">
</form>




When I submit I thought the values $userfile etc will at least be 
defined but for me nothing's there.

Kev,
