Fri, 10 Apr 2026 20:05:50 +0000 https://bugs.horde.org/ticket/14743 Form_Type_File does not get saved on preserve() I whish to process a series of forms in a minor variation to https://wiki.horde.org/Doc/Dev/FormPackage. Form variables in a step are saved in the $vars object to process the successive step. All works well unless the variable is of type file. I included a demo script that illustrates the point. If FormStage1 uses a variable of type integer everything works. However, if the type is file the gathered information is an array and preserve() fails: dumping vars object: Array ( [f_file] => Array ( [name] => parsedFile-5.docx [type] => application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.wordprocessingml.document [tmp_name] => /tmp/phppIjQKh [file] => /tmp/phppIjQKh [error] => 0 [size] => 35069 ) [stage] => 2 [f_bool] => ) Thu, 30 Nov 2017 08:47:17 +0000 https://bugs.horde.org/ticket/14743#t92596 Again, this is because you cannot set a default value (by preserving) of a file field for security reasons.

What would be the preferred method of passing the file's name to form2? Thu, 30 Nov 2017 18:04:17 +0000 https://bugs.horde.org/ticket/14743#t92602
