multipart/form-data

[Anon]

Hi! Everytime I add enctype="multipart/form-data" to my <form> tag the $HTTP_POST_VARS is empty. If I remove it, everything works (except that I can't do a file upload as part of my form).

I saw that many people have similar problems at deja.com, but I could not find a solution.

Any ideas?

have you got method="post" in the form tag?

Yes, my form tag looks like that:
<form method="post" action="submit.php" enctype="multipart/form-data">

I tried shifting around the enctype, but it did not help. The $HTTP_POST_VARS is always empty. Only if I remove it, I get the data of the form fields, but I cannot do file uploads then of course.

This guy here seems to have exactly the same problem as I have:

he is also using the same php version.

Others seem to have this problem too (checked deja), but there seems to be no solution... 🙁

I thinks I got it.

My php configuration says:
file_uploads no value no value

I thought that this means that it will use the default and that this is to allow file uploads. But I read on deja that "no value" actually means "off"...so I guess I'll try to turn it on and check again.
