I have a small issue actually getting variable to show – let alone how to figure out why my images are not uploading.
On my form I have the following textarea –

<input type="file" name="imageNew" />

in the page to which this form is posted I have –

$imagetoshow = $_REQUEST['imageNew'];
echo "the image is " + $imagetoshow;
exit();

I simply cant see why this is displaying a “0”?
What I think I need is for someone to point out the obvious to me – obvious to you, not to me. Then I can get on with figuring out why the file isn’t uploading.

Thanks in advance.

    Files work a little differently… You need to access the $_FILES superglobal.

    http://www.php.net/manual/en/features.file-upload.post-method.php

    (From that page as well: Note: Be sure your file upload form has attribute enctype=”multipart/form-data” otherwise the file upload will not work.)
