Matching more than one value in a file array

[RelaxoRy]

I have 10 records in $_FILES[userfile]. When a person submits a form,
I just want to check that none of the filenames are identicle. does
preg_match_all do this? I guess I'll be going through an array, but i
would also have to eliminate blank fields for it to be effective.

any ideas?

Have you looked at the array functions at
<http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.array.php>, especially
'array_unique()' at
<http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.array-unique.php>?

No, it doesn't. And it might not be a check that you should be doing anyway,
since identical flenames do not imply identical files. The files might, for
instance, be residing in different folders.
