I've been googling and reading rfc1867.c and finding very little explanation. The _FILES[$key]['temp_name'][$key] is quite awkward when dealing with multiple uploads. I found it as a bug, but the only response to someone posting about the awkwardness was, it is not a bug and will not be fixed. I'd just really like to know why the structure is the way it is.. It's an inconsistency with other html arrays that really confuses me. If it's old news, please reply to me off list instead of wasting valuable developer time on an old discussion. .darrel.
