4.013 PHP5 HTTP_POST method no longer works

#1
I just updated to 4.013 and PHP5 HTTP_POST does not work. Verified working fine in 4.012 and Apache.

Here's the code:
Code:
<form method=post action="pictureform.php">
<input type="FILE" name="userpic" size="30">
<input type=submit>
</form>
PHP:
		$source = $HTTP_POST_FILES['userpic']['tmp_name'];
Under 4.012 and Apache $source will return the temporary file location of the file (e.g. /tmp/adoije)

4.013 returns a null value. It appears the temporary file is not actually created from the upload form.

edit: Changing the script to the $_FILES super global solved the issue. Although this might be a problem for older scripts.

I did tests base on your code. Here's my result:

1. can reproduce if same code as yours
2. following code(i.e., add enctype)
Code:
<form method=post action="pictureform.php" enctype="multipart/form-data">
<input type="FILE" name="userpic" id="userpic" size="30">
<input type=submit>
</form>
working well.

3.tested on 4.0.11/4.0.12/4.0.13, no difference. and, output of $HTTP_POST_FILES and $_FILES are found no difference too.

can you verify once more.
