Yeah! Of course this doesn’t fix existing problems, but at least moving forward I’ve found a new best practice that I’ll be following.

First of all, php’s file upload handling leaves a lot to be desired (see the structure used when using multiple files).

to me, this looks like a bug.

Here is an example from python that shows what I expect php to do: [ { 'file["my{}stuff"].data’, ‘testfile2.txt’, ‘this is another test file (2)\n’ }, { ‘file["my{}stuff"].data’, ‘testfile1.txt’, ‘this is test file 1\n’ } ] ]

Here is what php does: array(0) { }

HTML for form:

POST source: Content-Type: multipart/form-data; boundary=—————————141539390286251557952150290 Content-Length: 468 —————————–141539390286251557952150290 Content-Disposition: form-data; name=”file[\"my{}stuff\"].data”; filename=”testfile2.txt” Content-Type: text/plain this is another test file (2) —————————–141539390286251557952150290 Content-Disposition: form-data; name=”file[\"my{}stuff\"].data”; filename=”testfile1.txt” Content-Type: text/plain this is test file 1 —————————–141539390286251557952150290–

Speak for yourself. I delete on regular base my contact lists. And afaik this is common practice for all digital natives. Some do it as kind of ritual like cleaning up. Some just forget about people which are still on icq they moved on. Some just change their mails and do not tell everyone. Contacts are lost in digital just like in the old world.

My form worked fine in FireFox, but not in IE. I found that changing the enctype via JS didn’t do anything in Internet Explorer. IE expects a different form attribute – ‘encoding’. So, if you’re setting the enctype via JS, you should cover your bases by setting both…

if(fileUpload){ document.getElementById(‘formId’).enctype=”multipart/form-data”; document.getElementById(‘formId’).encoding=”multipart/form-data”; // For IE } else{ document.getElementById(‘formId’).enctype=”application/x-www-form-urlencoded”; document.getElementById(‘formId’).encoding=”application/x-www-form-urlencoded”; // For IE }
