Google Cloud Storage Error on Upload - strpos(): Empty needle

When uploading a file to Google Cloud Storage (through my app running on app engine) I get the following PHP warning

Warning: strpos(): Empty needle in /base/data/home/runtimes/php/sdk/google/appengine/ext/cloud_storage_streams/CloudStorageStreamWrapper.php on line 168

I've used <form action="<?php echo $upload_url?> as per the official guide and then done a basic move

$gs_name = $_FILES["uploaded_files"]['tmp_name'];
move_uploaded_file($gs_name, "gs://my_bucket/new_file.ext");

Does anyone know why this is and can someone help resolve this?

The same problem... Looks like a bug, in the local (latest) version of SDK different code. As a workaround I use copy($_FILES["uploaded_files"]['tmp_name'], "gs://my_bucket/new_file.ext") + unlink($_FILES["uploaded_files"]['tmp_name']), it works :)

Needle is what the PHP strpos function calls its first parameter (search for a needle in a haystack). The value of the $gs_name variable is empty. The cause is likely some difference in the upload form.

Try going back a step in PHP Direct uploads to Google Cloud Storage via HTTP POST and temporarily change your PHP upload handler back to:

var_dump($_FILES);

The output will probably differ from what is expected, and may indicate which part of the above mentioned form is responsible.
