File Upload does not work

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?

1.File Upload does not work

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

I want to see the uploaded file name to be able to handle the file after
upload.
I see nothing in the $_POST variable.
The parameters for name and value are set.

(Last tried this string among others

$form->addFile("File:", "field13","$foobar=blubber", array("filename" =>
"File"));

)
I use the elements example page, and after submitting not even the value
"field13" is shown!


What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
1.0 linux

Please provide any additional information below.

Please provide an example for the addFile function.

Files uploaded though html forms can be accessed in the $_FILES array, not the 
$_POST array.  When the form is submitted, try doing a print_r on the $_FILES 
array 
and you should see your file information.

Also, the addFile function only accepts three values following the format 
provided 
below...

function addFile($label, $name, $additionalParams="")

Please let me know if you have any additional questions and I will assist.

Thanks,

Hi. 
Kind greetings from Germany :-)

Thanks for this very very fast reply!

Ah, ok. 
You should make a note in the example pages to point this out.

Ok then something is wrong.

When you look at the elements example page you see this.

After:

//Below you will find functions for adding each of the 18 supported form field 
types.
[..]
function addFile($label, $name, $value="", $additionalParams="")

> Please let me know if you have any additional questions and I will assist.

Here we go:

I have tried this:


$form->addFile("File:", "field13"));

And

       echo "The File Vars:";
        print_r($_FILE);
right after the print_r($_POST) statement.

Output is:

Array
(
    [cmd] => submit
    [field0] => 
    [field15] => 
    [field1] => Array
        (
            [0] => option0
            [1] => option1
            [2] => option2
        )

    [field3] => 
    [field4] => option0
    [field7] => 
    [field8] => 
    [field11] => 
    [field12] => 
    [field14] => 
    [field16] => 
    [field17] => <br />

    [field18] => 
    [recaptcha_challenge_field] =>

    [recaptcha_response_field] => 
)

The File Vars:


^ as you can see, there is nothing to see :-)

What am I doing wrong?

Do you have an working example for me please?


Thanks in advance!

Ralf,

Kind greetings to you from the US :)  In the code you provided above, I see you 
are 
doing...

print_r($_FILE);

You need to change this to...

print_r($_FILES);

php.net is a great site for all things php related.  Check out 
http://us2.php.net/manual/en/features.file-upload.post-method.php for more 
information and instruction on how file uploads are handled in php.

Thanks,
Andrew

Argl!! OK I'am stupid.

Sorry for the hassle!

But to mention the $_FILE thing in the examples would help a lot.

Thanks for the help and keep up  the good work, the form_class is really 
helpful!
