My $_FILES['file']['name'] is producing gibberish - php

Question

I am uploading files with the following code using Bootstrap as my front-end framework.
<form method="POST" enctype="multipart/form-data" action= "php/up-load.php" role="form"
<div class="form-group">
<label for="file" class="col-sm-5 control-label">
Select file(Compressed format)
</label>
<div>
<input type="hidden" name="MAX_FILE_SIZE" value="1000000000"/>
<input type="file" id="file" name="file" accept=".zip, .rar"/>
</div>
</div>
<div>
<button type="submit" class="btn btn-primary" name="upload" id="upload">Send</button>
</div>
</form>
My php code is;
# $original=$_FILES['file']['name'];
# $kiss=pathinfo($original, PATHINFO_EXTENSION);
$allowed_extensions = array(".zip","rar","bzip2","iso","gz","rz","7z","tar","tgz","bz2","tbz2","lzma","tlz");
$result = in_array ("$kiss", $allowed_extensions);
if (!$result)
{
// Wrong file type
}
else
{
//proceed..
}
My problem is that the
$_FILES['file']['name'];
is returning gibberish such as php7vy8X9 and phpY8wQVR . Have tried everything. What could be the problem?

Answer 1

$_FILES["file"]["name"] should be returning the original name of your file, what you are reporting should be stored inside $_FILES["file"]["tmp_name"]
The whole $_FILES array should look like this:
echo $_FILES["file"]["name"]; // Original Name
echo $_FILES["file"]["tmp_name"]; // Name (and location) given to the file by PHP
echo $_FILES["file"]["type"]; // File/mime type
echo $_FILES["file"]["size"]; // Total bytes
echo $_FILES["file"]["error"]; // Any error code which is returned during transfer
