The original path is just the filename, not the path + filename.

We used to "abuse" this field also to insert URLs instead of physical filenames which worked fine so far. When entered "http://www.somedomain.com"; the php variable $_FILES['userfile']['name'] contained the entire URL : "http://www.somedomain.com"; Now, the new version seems to cut everything before the last slash and $_FILES['userfile']['name'] contains only "www.somedomain.com", without "http://"; . We could not find any documentation for this behaviour and doubt that this behaviour was desired? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=28802&edit=1
