File Upload does not work

[GoogleCodeExporter]

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,
- Andrew

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] => 
02B_JVQ7mkZhsEo5WVRd6Czk1I1oT-4jBsP-i1VY2YzO3ckyuO-EJyox8VgDBmlk08MIFpzB_YyLfehv

gvTXWAiRL-WUZiuV8dp2P8xN-PEsSfyW6NrvFim1Gis2YB
    [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!
