Fatal error: Cannot re-assign auto-global variable

Question

Fatal error: Cannot re-assign auto-global variable _FILES in C:\xampp\htdocs\user\utils\CommonUtils.php on line 1395

The code on line 1395 is

public static function saveAvatar($code, $pilotid, $_FILES) {

Answer 1

you can't use $_FILES for function parameter it's reserved word, use this instead of

public static function saveAvatar($code, $pilotid, $files) { }

and for calling pass the $_FILES like this

saveAvatar($code, $pilotid, $_FILES);

OR

You can also directly access the $_FILES without passing it in function parameter inside function.
