IT IS NOT a BUG. GET and post methods will work as normal requests but
if you use the form enctype multipart then you got to handle the request
as multipart. In java I use the oreilly MultipartRequest to parse the
data and it works wonderfully. You migh thave to find a way to get it in
PHP or you can write yourself a multipartrequest class based on
oreilly's one.

My problem is that, in my earlier php instalation, I had
register_globals=on, and now, with PHP5, it comes off by default:

http://cn.php.net/manual/en/language.variables.external.php

My solution was using this line before I need the value of $username

$username = echo $_POST['username'];

I hope it helps...

occurs the same issues on apache 2.2.8 + latest php 5.2.8, all of the
solution above is useless.

I am having this issue, none of the above worked for me... anybody have
other ideas?  (IIS 6, PHP 5.2.6)

Thanks

To correct my above message:

Post the form with method GET does not work, setting the post_max_size
in php.ini higher than the size of the uploaded file did the trick.
