 * Hi, I am creating api settings page. I have an logo upload option in page. My
   problem is, if I click upload button when the file upload field is empty, my 
   option array looks like this a:3:{ s:5:”files”;s:5:”Array”;s:4:”file”;a:1:{s:
   5:”error”;s:21:”No file was uploaded.”;}}. I have written my full code below 
   please help somebody.

       <?php
       /*

       	function ld_admin_init() {
       		register_setting( 'ld_options', 'ld_options', 'ld_options_validate' );
       		add_settings_section('ld_main', 'Upload', 'ld_section_text', 'ld');
