http://www.php.net/manual/en/features.file-upload.multiple.php 
says that:

"For instance, assume that the filenames 
/home/test/review.html and /home/test/xwp.out are 
submitted. In this case, $userfile_name[0] would contain 
the value review.html, and $userfile_name[1] would contain 
the value xwp.out. Similarly, $userfile_size[0] would 
contain review.html's filesize, and so forth. 

$userfile['name'][0], $userfile['tmp_name'][0], 
$userfile['size'][0], and $userfile['type'][0] are also 
set. "

But they are not set !

Here's the script that requites 2 pages, form.html and 
file-upload.php

form.php
========
<html>
<head></head>
<body>
<form action="file-upload.php" method="post" 
enctype="multipart/form-data">
  Send these files:<br>
  <input name="userfile[]" type="file"><br>
  <input name="userfile[]" type="file"><br>
  <input type="submit" value="Send files">
</form>
</body>
</html>

file-upload.php
===============
<?php
// We will not upload, just show the variables
print_r ( $HTTP_POST_FILES );
print_r ( $userfile );
?>

You will notice that $userfile is a one dimensional array 
that contains only the names of the temporary files 
uploaded.

My PHP is:
==========
./configure

Should be $userfile[0]['name']!

Do a var_dump() on userfile to check it out.

doc-TODO: add example in the docs about this.

This doesn't appear to be a Documentation bug. I don't get anything but first level in the array, which is the temporary file name....

Uploading 5 files, with the tag:

<input name="files[]" type="file"><br>

a vardump($files) shows me:
array(5) { 
           [0]=>  string(38)
               "/usr/local/data/PhotoUploads/php5LPZGT" 
           [1]=>  string(38)
               "/usr/local/data/PhotoUploads/phpqVsa8A"
           [2]=>  string(4) 
               "none" 
           [3]=>  string(4) 
               "none" 
           [4]=>  string(4) 
               "none" 
         } 

This may have been fixed in a newer version, but 4.0.6 is the latest RPM you can get for a RedHat 7 system. If it's fixed in a future version, I'd like to know, before I go through the trouble of a non-rpm update to find out. (:

Ok, so I went through all the trouble to make my own RPM for the update to 4.1.1. This bug is still there, $userfile is a 1 dimensional array. Not the multi-dimensional array the docs say it's supposed to be.

The new file uploading mechanism is only available in php 4.2.0 and higher (which is not yet released).

Fixed.
