10238	A failed upload loses its error messages	filosofo	westi	"If there are errors in some uploads, WP fails to report it because the errors are erased.  That happens because the {{{$errors}}} variable is initialized at the top of {{{media_upload_form_handler()}}} to an empty array (new behavior in 2.8), but lines like 490 of wp-admin/includes/media.php set {{{$errors}}} to the (sometimes empty) {{{$return}}} variable returned by {{{media_upload_form_handler()}}} when that {{{$return}}} variable is an array.

Prior to 2.8, the behavior was that {{{media_upload_form_handler()}}} would return NULL, so {{{$errors}}} would remain.  Now, {{{media_upload_form_handler()}}} returns an empty array, and {{{$errors}}} is set to that empty array.

Patch initializes {{{$errors}}} in {{{media_upload_form_handler()}}} to NULL.

I think this is related to #10153 among others."	defect (bug)	closed	high	2.8.1	Media	2.8	major	fixed	media_upload_form_handler has-patch upload
