I'm reading about th $_FILES variable and that it is an associative
array. If I look at the PHP.net site(http://php.net/manual/en/
reserved.variables.files.php) it does not discuss what values can be
in this or what the various keys may mean. More searching finds this
page (http://www.php.net/manual/en/features.file-upload.post-
method.php) that mentions "content from the example, above."

Does this mean that the variable (or array) can under other
circumstances have other key/value pairs? Is this a defined thing or
is it open-ended?

I find these things very confusing and would appreciate some
clarification.

Thanks.

Ah you are right, I got confused with the color change in my client.
It is pretty clear, what part in there makes you think that it might
change in the future?

The text I quoted implies that those elements in the array applies in
some way to the example and that it might be different in other
instances. Maybe I'm just reading too much into the text.

I think yes, the keys are the same, their values change depending on
what you are uploading, and it success uploading.

I see. But the 5 subordinate keys ('name', 'type', 'size', 'tmp-name',
and 'error') are the only keys and they remain the full and entire set
with no other elements being possible?

They're the set of keys that PHP itself guarantees. Since extensions can
(and sometimes do) hook into the file upload routines, they could add
other keys as well, if they chose to.
