Question:

Using Pure PHP Upload, how can I store the filename of the uploaded file in a session variable?

I simply want the files to be uploaded and filenames stored in session variables, no need to insert in a database table.

Storing the filenames in session variable is easy:

$HTTP_SESSION_VARS['filename1'] = $HTTP_POST_VARS['filename1'];

but you should do this only when the upload is in process so:

if (isset($HTTP_GET_VARS['GP_upload'])) {
$HTTP_SESSION_VARS['filename1'] = $HTTP_POST_VARS['filename1'];
$HTTP_SESSION_VARS['filename2'] = $HTTP_POST_VARS['filename2'];
}

Add this code at the end of the upload code

filename1 and filename2 are the form upload field name

Since PHP version 4.1.0 it is also posible to use $_SESSION and $_POST.
Also DMX 2004 uses $_SESSION and $_POST as default.
