Missing data for $_POST in fu_after_upload action

    I’m trying to use added fields in Frontend uploader, and for the moment I can only find trace of one. When I enter the my_fu_after_upload function the $_POST variable only contains data for destination field, not the other fields.

    Here’s what I put in the template:

    $sc =  '[fu-upload-form class="your-class" title="1) Upload your Travel photographs"]';
	$sc .= '[input type="file" name="photo" id="ug_photo" class="required" description="" multiple="true"]';
	$sc .= '[input type="file" name="headerPhoto" id="headerPhoto" class="required" description="<h2 class=destination>2)Upload header photo</h2>" ]';
	$sc .= '[input type="text" name="destination" id="destination" class="required" description="<h2 class=destination>3) Type your Destination here:</h2>" ]';
	$sc .= '[input type="submit" class="btn" id="submission" value="Let MyTravelLog build Your Blog!"]';
	$sc .= '[/fu-upload-form]';
	echo do_shortcode($sc);

    In my functions.php I have the following:

    add_action( 'fu_after_upload', 'my_fu_after_upload', 10, 10 );
function my_fu_after_upload( $attachment_ids, $success, $post_id ) {
 update_post_meta( $post_id, 'destination', $_POST['destination'] );
update_post_meta( $post_id, 'tripTo', $_POST['tripTo'] );
}

    Added info:
    the file uploaded with the headerPhoto is in fact lumped in at the end of the $attachment_ids array. But I have no way of knowing whether the last image in the $attachment_ids array comes from the headerPhoto field or from the multiple image upload.

    $_POST does not contain file information, $_FILES does

    I have never tested the plugin with more than one file field though.

    Thanks for your answer Rinat, I’ll check out the $_FILES variable as soon as I can get back to my project

    I’m trying to retrieve the filenames of the uploaded files from the $_FILES array but I’m struggling.

    print_r($_FILES); clearly works but when I try to loop through $_FILES I’m not getting anything.

    Here’s the output I have from print_r($_FILES); after uploading a single file:

    Array
(
    [files] => Array
        (
            [name] => Array
                (
                    [0] => testfile.pdf
                )

            [type] => Array
                (
                    [0] => application/pdf
                )

            [tmp_name] => Array
                (
                    [0] => /tmp/phpkC2Tsw
                )

            [error] => Array
                (
                    [0] => 0
                )

            [size] => Array
                (
                    [0] => 1119353
                )

        )

)

    I’ve tried looping through the array 2 ways and I’m getting no output. Here’s what I have in functions.php so far.

    add_action( 'fu_after_upload', 'my_fu_after_upload', 10, 3 );
function my_fu_after_upload( $attachment_ids, $success, $post_id ) {

	echo "<pre>";
	print_r($_FILES);
	echo "</pre>";

	$count = count($_FILES['files']);
	for($i=0; $i<=$count; $i++) {
	  if ($_FILES['files'][$i]['size'])
	    echo $_FILES['files'][$i]['name']."\n";
	}

	foreach($_FILES['files'] as $file) {
	    echo $file['name']."\n";
	}
}

    Ultimately, I’m trying to retrieve the link(s) of any uploaded file(s) immediately after the file(s) are uploaded. But I’m stuck at how to pull the data I need from $_FILES.

    Thanks for any help.

    Looks like you have a small typo in your code:

    You have:
    $_FILES['files'][$i]['name']

    Should be

    $_FILES['files']['name'][$i]

    Great! That fixed it.
