problem with $HTTP_POST_FILES

I am working on an image upload script and I've tried to use the variables from $HTTP_POST_FILES however it seems that no matter how I try to get the variables, they are always empty -- even though they are populated when checking phpinfo(); HTTP_POST_FILES["binFile"] Array ( [name] => arrow-block.gif [type] => image/gif [tmp_name] => /var/tmp/phph60272 [size] => 857 ) I got some info on it from php.net and attempt to echo as they have on their site however it displays nothing. echo $HTTP_POST_FILES['binFile']['name']."<br>"; I am attempting to get size/extension of the file to determine if its a valid extension and within the valid filesize range. Is this a server issue or just my php newbie-ness? If anyone has any ideas on how I can get this working, please let me know.
