Unable to add new product category

[cruiten]

I am using 2.2 MS1 and everything seems to have installed without a hitch.

However when I go into the admin section, any new product category that I add is created with blank name, image and sort order values.

Looking at the source I see that the form is submitted with an encoding type of "multipart/form-data", and as a POST form.

In my experience with other languages, such as JSP, I was always forced to add any other form field values to the ACTION value of the form, if the form was a POST type form with an encoding type of "multipart/form-data" via JavaScript whenever the form was submitted. Similar to how the form currently sets the values for the "action" variable and the "cPath" variable.

In fact, I tested out my theory by doing just that and I am now able to create new categories that have values for the category name, and sort order, but no image reference.

I am using IE 6.0, but I don't think that is the problem here.

Is this a known problem/bug?

Thank you,

P.S. I searched the archives and was unable to find anything that definitively addresses this.

After delving into the Bugs area I found something in an unrelated reference that has fixed my problem.

To fix the problem I had to update my php.ini file. The value "file_uploads" was set to "Off", so I set it to "On" and restarted Apache, and that did the trick...
