I'd placed a button on my LiveCycle form that uploads the completed form to my website. However, I'm using PHP on the website and the file is not in the $_FILES array like a typical file would be when it is uploaded through a normal HTML form. It is also not in the $_POST or $_GET arrays. So, how is the PDF file passed back when using PHP?

Hello hartmantroy,

Sorry I don't have an answer but I do have the same problem. I have written many HTML / PHP scripts over the years and retrieved the form data using: $_POST.

When I try to retrieve the Acrobat form data I get nothing.
I hope someone can tell us what we are doing wrong.

I found my mistake. I created fields using the "Create multiple Copies of Fields" feature. The new fields had names like: Q1.0, Q1.1, Q1.2, etc.

I just kept those field names. It turns out that the "dot" in the field names was the problem. I eliminated them and just went with: Q1, Q2, Q3, etc. then the $_POST worked fine.
