Subject: Re: [PHP-DEV] re: _FILES
From: vladb@pseudo-infinity.ro (Vlad Bosinceanu)

<input type="text" name="foo[]"> generates $_GET['foo'][0..n]
<input type="file" name="foo[]"> generates 
$_FILES['foo']['tmp_name/name/etc'][0..n]

I think this could pretty much be considered an inconsistence but 
changing wouldn't possible due to the BC demon awakening and wreaking 
havoc upon doing so.
