[thelist] PHP $_FILES Question

$_FILES is an array, not a command - it's just where PHP puts the 
uploaded data for you.

Yes, it only works with POST. In Safari, the form's 
enctype="multipart/form-data" overrides method="get", and send 
everything through as a POST request. If you really need some of those 
variables in the query string, you can of course append them to the 
form's action attribute manually:

	<form enctype="multipart/form-data" method="post" 
action="submit.php?variable=<?= $value ?>" />
