WEll it is not a bug and I figured out that I had not set the "name" attributes for the
input elements that I was trying to access.
also $_REQUEST['element-name'] works better.

Here is the fix: Check the message of gimi.
[2010-02-03 16:17 UTC] gimi dot alb at gmail dot com,
Also you should check (into begin of your script)
"post_max_size, upload_max_filesize, memory_limit"
values to work correctly and safely!
For Example:
http://www.php.net/manual/en/features.file-upload.php#73762
YOU SHOULD CHECK:
==================================
ini_get('post_max_size');
ini_get('upload_max_filesize');
ini_get('memory_limit');
==================================
Regards.
Seyhun Cavus.

Just for the record, in my case similar behavior was observed and the cause was
restrictions in the suhosin - hardened debian distribution,
suhosin.post.max_name_length specifically.

I faced the same problem and nothing worked. I have tested on Apache 2.2, PHP 5.3 on Windows Vista.
I also tested on Ubuntu (Karmic) with Apache 2.2 and PHP 5.3. I also tested with nGinX 0.8 and PHP
5.3.
Then I found a workaround. The action="" parameter should not be the script page itself on
which you have file upload form. For example, you have a page index.php with the upload form.
<form action="upload.php" enctype="multipart/form-data"
method="post">
<input type="hidden" name="MAX_FILE_SIZE" value="200000">
<input type="file" size="40" name="upload">
<input type="submit" value="Upload">
</form>
The action="upload.php" <-------- This page has to be different than the file upload
form page, and it works on all configurations of PHP!
Do not use <php?=$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']?> for the action parameter.

Some Apache hosts have problem parsing variables from .htaccess files.
They do not throw any error, but they just unset the variables.
I had the problem with the POST variable not being set, when I migrated to a new host. After hours
of debugging, I found out that
these variables:
#php_value upload_max_filesize 50M
#php_value post_max_size 55M
#php_value memory_limit 384M
were causing the webserver to set the memory limit to 256K and POST variable not working.
So I commented them out and insted used php.ini to set the variables.
It worked fine after that.

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.
