$_FILES Issue

[Donniep]

Hello,
I am working on a new application for work and I need to upload up to 3 .pdf's so I have the form set up
[php]
<input type="file" name="menu[]" />
<input type="file" name="menu[]" />
<input type="file" name="menu[]" />
[php]
Then the issue. say I fill in the first two inputs and on the receiving page I do count($_FILES[menu]) it says 5 hmm....

Then I tried to do var_dump($_FILES[menu]) and it spits this out

array(5)
{ ["name"]=> array(3) {
[0]=> string(11) "ccbagel.pdf"
[1]=> string(11) "ccbagel.pdf"
[2]=> string(0) "" }
["type"]=> array(3) {
[0]=> string(15) "application/pdf"
[1]=> string(15) "application/pdf"
[2]=> string(0) "" }
["tmp_name"]=> array(3) {
[0]=> string(23) "C:\wamp\tmp\php501F.tmp"
[1]=> string(23) "C:\wamp\tmp\php503F.tmp"
[2]=> string(0) "" }
["error"]=> array(3) {
[0]=> int(0)
[1]=> int(0)
[2]=> int(4) }
["size"]=> array(3) {
[0]=> int(210998)
[1]=> int(210998)
[2]=> int(0) } }

In my mind there should only be two arrays one for each file that I tried to upload like it works for images.

So I guess I am wondering is this how files always work or am I doing something wrong. It is making the processing of this data a real PITA.

Thanks in advance
Don
