Mitchell Harper Adding Blobs to the database

I too have a quick question about the Blobing tool which Mitchell created. I have downloaded the zipfile from the thread "I found the problem" and I have tried to use it. But when I run the getfiles app and put both a description and the file I want uploaded, it gives me an error message to enter a Description and file before uploading.

Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong

Thanks

After further research I uncovered the answer to my question. The resolution was in the fact that I was running version 4.3 of PHP, I was required to look at reqister_global and turn it from Off to On in PHP.ini. This resolved my problem immedately.

Bob,

Although it's a simple workaround, I would recommend against turning it ON... You're better off changing the code by using the superglobal arrays $_POST[] and $_GET[]... It will make the code more secure.

You can set the register_globals to Off and use this syntax:

$_FILES["form_field"]["tmp_name"] -> this is the name of the file created by the server. It's equal to: $form_field

$_FILES["form_field"]["type"] -> this is the mime type of the file. It's equal to: $form_field_type

$_FILES["form_field"]["name"] -> this is the name of the file at the form, the original filename. It's equal to: $form_field_name
