You may also want to take a look at http://us.php.net/features.file-upload. That is a good resource for starting in file uploads. -Logan -----Original Message----- From: Stephen [mailto:stephen-d@xxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Monday, April 09, 2007 8:54 PM To: PHP-General Subject: Curious Problem with $_POST I have a form for uploading files. It is intended to upload photos. I have it listed at the end. When I upload a jpg everything is fine. The $_POST variable is populated as expected. If I upload a zip file, it is empty! print_r ($_POST); gives Array ( ) If I upload a jpg Print_r gives: Array ( [form] => uploadimagesform [MAX_FILE_SIZE] => 100000 [category] => 1 [photo_caption] => Array ( [0] => [1] => [2] => [3] => ) [submit] => Add Photos ) I am at a total loss to understand this, and don't know where to begin.
