Code to reproduce the bug
=========================

<?php
//if ($HTTP_POST_VARS['submit']) {	// this statement doesn't work since $HTTP_POST_VARS is always empty!!
if (isset($_POST['submit'])) {

  // for debugging purpose
  print_r($_POST);
  print_r($HTTP_POST_VARS);
  print_r($HTTP_POST_FILES);

  if (!is_uploaded_file($HTTP_POST_FILES['file']['tmp_name'])) {
    $error = "You did not upload a file!";
    unlink($HTTP_POST_FILES['file']['tmp_name']);
  } else {
    copy($HTTP_POST_FILES['file']['tmp_name'],"/finallocation/".$HTTP_POST_FILES['file']['name']);
    unlink($HTTP_POST_FILES['file']['tmp_name']);
    print "File has been successfully uploaded!";
    exit;
  }
}
?>

<html>

<body>
<form action="<?=$PHP_SELF?>" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">

refine summary.

Use var_dump($HTTP_POST_VARS); to see the contents of the variable.
Also check $_POST too.
 [2005-04-24 22:13 UTC] samuel at replicon dot com 
var_dump($HTTP_POST_VARS) --> NULL
  var_dump($HTTP_POST_FILES) --> NULL
 [2005-04-24 22:16 UTC] samuel at replicon dot com 
var_dump($_POST) --> array(1) { ["submit"]=> string(6) "submit" }
