framework wiki discussion forms close to useless

Post by madsamurai » Sun Mar 09, 2008 6:55 am

the code example on http://dev.joomla.org/component/option, ... le-upload/
doesn't work... the author even says it won't work. so once I figured out how to make it work, I thought I'd be helpful and post a working example in the discussion form on that wiki page. I tried like a dozen different ways, and it simply won't let me. I keep getting: "Illegal variable _files or _env or _get or _post or _cookie or _server or _session or globals passed to script." even tho my code is all contained within code blocks. I can't type a working example without using the word 'files', or the JRequest commands...

Pretty frustrating... I just wanted to help out, maybe save somebody the couple of hours it took me to figure out why it wasn't working.
