Validation with file uploads

[SPYDERIX]

Hi,

Is the correct way to tell if a "file" form field is filled in or not to use this:

if (is_uploaded_file($_FILES["userfile"]["tmp_name"]))

The commands: isset, empty, eregi aren't accurately telling me if the field is filled in or not using either $_POST["userfile"] or $_FILES["userfile"] variables.

What is the correct way to check this?

Thanks!

well what u have done is correct. but there is another way using javascript and hidden fields. if the file field is empty then set the hidden filed value to empty and vice versa. read the hidden field value and check accordingly....
