Sorry, yes the output with the <input type="file"> line in the html
is:

print_r( Array ) :Array
(
    [VAR1] => 1
)

Without the above line, VAR1 and VAR2 are displayed.

Just to clarify this: That last hidden field is not in $_POST ?

When I include an <input type=file> in a form and post it (whether or
not I actually upload a file) the $_POST vars are cut short.  This is
with Apache-2.0.39 and both php-4.2.1 and with a CVS version (from 25
June 2002).

See the script (tst.php) below:

<html>
<head>
<title>File Upload Test</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;">
</head>

<body bgcolor="#FFFFFF">
<pre>
<?php
print "print_r( $_POST ) :";
if (isset($_POST)) { print_r($_POST); }

?>
</pre>
<form enctype="multipart/form-data" action="tst.php"
method="post">
<input type="hidden" name="VAR1" value="1">
Send this file: <input type="file" name="userfile[]">
<!-- comment out the line above for VAR2 to be successfully
posted
-->
<input type="hidden" name="VAR2" value="2">
<input type="submit" value="Test">
</form>
</body>
</html>
