I have a form with an <input type="file"> element. 

If I use Internet Explorer 5.5 to save the form, but *don't* upload a file, there's still an entry in $HTTP_POST_VARS (with empty name, but with a valid mimetype (octet-stream)).

This entry should not be there. If I use Mozilla to do the same, it works ok, and $HTTP_POST_FILES is an empty array.

You would say this is a browser bug. However, with PHP 4.0.6, we didn't have this problem.

Where I said 'HTTP_POST_VARS' in the bug report, I meant ofcourse 'HTTP_POST_FILES'.

Greetings,
Ivo

Thank you for taking the time to report a problem with PHP.
Unfortunately you are not using a current version of PHP -- 
the problem might already be fixed. Please download a new
PHP version from http://www.php.net/downloads.php

If you are able to reproduce the bug with one of the latest
versions of PHP, please change the PHP version on this bug report
to the version you tested and change the status back to "Open".
Again, thank you for your continued support of PHP.
