how to do this...

[elduderino]

Hi,

sorry for the ambiguious title!

I want to to write some logic that says if this file array has this name then do this.....what i mean is if someone has selected a file from their hard drive in to a file upload box with a name attribute of 'file_field' and uploaded the file how do i say in my script at the other end.....if the file array is called 'file_field' then do this....

ive tried if($_FILES == 'field')

But it doesnt work!

any ideas?

if (isset($_FILES['file_field']))

if($_FILES['name'] == "field"){
//then they did what you wanted/feared

} 

Do :

print_r($_FILES);

And have a good look what is being sent into your scripts.

The all important one is $_FILES['error'] !

Follow the link in the manual to see what errors 1 to 4 mean, save a sea of pain.
