Oh, yes.
I have try to analyze this question, and got following result:

If Post data looks like this:
Content-Disposition: form-data; name="userfile"; filename="../test.html"

Variable $_FILES['userfile']['name'] initializes with value "../test.html"

And one more example code taken from PHP manual:
--------
$uploaddir = '/var/www/uploads/';
$uploadfile = $uploaddir . $_FILES['userfile']['name'];

if (move_uploaded_file($_FILES['userfile']['tmp_name'], $uploadfile)) {
--------

Trying to copy file into '/var/www/uploads/../test.html

And in opinien this situation potential dangerous.

$_FILES['userfile']['type'] can be fake by the client with raw http : Content-Type: text/plain
