The $_FILES array is the worst of these.  Its existence can be deduced only by looking at the naming scheme of the new arrays versus the old one (or typing $_FILES in Google!), but it'd be nice to see this nifty new feature documented.  I figure the main reason people people still use $postvar instead of $HTTP_POST_VARS['postvar'] is because of lazyness, so at least $_POST['postvar'] will help wrangle them in the right direction.  Maybe.

Anyways... here are a couple of places where it would have been nice to see some info.

This is being worked on, thanks for the report. :)

The changes are already in the predefined variables
section, but as you can see, the manual was built
-05-01-2002- last time. We have an automated
build process, and we have some problems with it right
now, so the online manuals are not updated for some
weeks now.
