Bug description:  Header function doesnt use variables if $_FILE is used

Description:
------------
Basically I have a form where the user submits a file.

If a file is submitted in the header function is used it refuses to
recognize the variables and thus goes to the wrong page.

I have echoed these variables before and commented out the header function
and theyre fine. As a work around Ive had to code a function that redirects
using javascript.

Reproduce code:
---------------
	{$exploded = explode(".", $_FILES['attachment']['name']);
	$original_name = $exploded[0];
	$extension = strtolower($exploded[count($exploded) - 1]);
	$mime = $_FILES['attachment']['type'];
	$size = $_FILES['attachment']['size'];
	
	query("INSERT INTO $forumzDB.forumz_attachments (aid, extension,
uid, pid, time, mime, size,
views, original_name) VALUES
('', '$extension', '$uid', '$pq->pid', '$time',
'$mime', '$size', '1',
'$original_name')") or die_query(7); 
 	$aid = mysql_fetch_object(query("SELECT aid, time, extension FROM
$forumzDB.forumz_attachments WHERE uid = '$uid' ORDER BY aid DESC LIMIT
1")) or die_query(8);//last attachment by user - we want the aid to brand
the file

	$filename = "$aid->aid$aid->time.$extension";
	copy($_FILES['attachment']['tmp_name'],
"images/attachments/$filename");

	unlink($_FILES['attachment']['tmp_name']);}}

	if($forum_properties['attachments'] == 1)
	{success_box("Your post has been added. $filebig",
"".$forum_properties['base_url']."/thread/$tid/$pages#$pq->pid");}
	else
	{header("Location:
".$forum_properties['base_url']."/thread/$tid/$pages#$pid");}

Expected result:
----------------
Ideally I wouldnt need the end if statement and it would use the header
command directly thus taking the user straight to the page.

Actual result:
--------------
The header command goes to the base url but ignores the variables.
