Forms with an enctype of 'multitype/form-data' do not register the POST variables.

Here's how to reproduce:

----- Short Script Follows -----
<?
print_r($HTTP_POST_VARS);
?>
<form method=post enctype='multipart/form-data'>
        <input type='text' value='<? print $foo ?>' name='foo'>
        <input type='submit'>
</form>
----- End Script -----

Run the script above.   It is simple enough - it has a form that submits to itself, and then displays the HTTP_POST_VARS variable.

When I remove the enctype='multipart/form-data' attribute from the form tag, the script works fine (i.e. the variable 'foo' appears).   The enctype directive appears to surpress the variables.

My mistake - after my upgrade (due to the security risk) I didn't re-set the ini file to allow file uploads again.   I guess this directive is there to prevent unauthorised multipart submissions.

For others experiencing this problem, check your ini file and ensure the following line exists:

file_uploads = On
