Current Lynx versions can optionally support HTTP POST;
however, it doesn't work for the PHP file upload functions.
I believe this happens because the upload might be broken in the RFC, but I've seen some discussion on the site http://www.flora.org/lynx-dev/html/month082000/msg00087.html that suggests PHP3 uploads were broken with lynx. 

I'm attaching the (edited and ^Med) POST produced so somebody who knows the RFC better can comment:

Could you please try with PHP 4.0.6 as there were
couple of fixes regarding this issue in it. 

Also, you should try the latest CVS snapshot from
http://snaps.php.net/ to verify the latest fixes
haven't broke anything.

No feedback. Reopen if you still have this problem
with PHP 4.0.7 (soon to be released) or with latest CVS 
snapshot from http://snaps.php.net/
