PHP: $_FILES all of them!

I've got a service that supposed to be forwarding MMS attachments to my site, gif, jpeg, 3gp. As far as I know there won't be any field name attributed to them, is there any way of grabbing whatever attachment is sent in the posted info?

$_FILES['type'] is the mime type info and is probably reliable enough

$_FILES['file']['tmp_name'] points to the local file, so to grab the file's contents you can just do

Code:

$contents = file_get_contents($_FILES['file']['tmp_name']);

If you're storing them locally, then you'll need to look into using move_uploaded_file()

Cheers for the input guys

Ended up having to do a callback to the server to retrieve the files. It's been an afternoon of test collecting, assessing and saving images and text from txt files sent on MMS.

Bluergh...
