Thread: PHP $_FILES['file']['type'] now returns double quoted string

hello guys,

yesterday updated bunch of packages on server, , of sudden php started returning mime types on uploaded files double quoted strings:

before: $_files['file']['type'] contain example: application/pdf

now: $_files['file']['type'] contains "application/pdf"

of course breaks string comparisons $_files['file']['type'] == "application/pdf"

know if it's bug php, or if information fetched system, or browser? i'm blaming php5 package because thing involved noticed being updated before issue presented itself.

if knows i'd love hear it. in meantime updated code reflect change , maintain retro-compatibility, change smells bug more new feature, code break because of this.

code:

linux 2.6.32-36-generic #79-ubuntu smp tue nov 8 22:29:53 utc 2011 x86_64 gnu/linux  ubuntu 10.04.3 lts
