No, it won't.

Actually, $_FILES are a subset of $_POST, it's data send to the server by a
POST method.
$_FILES is, according to the manual, "An associative array of items uploaded
to the current script via the HTTP POST method."
I doubt this is really intended behaviour, but that's the logic behind it. I
assume the normal logic to build the $_FILES & split them from the $_POST
array is not executed in parse_str().
I don't know heck about C, but to me it seems the logic of building $_FILES
is in /main/rfc1867.c of the source. There should be a guru out here who can
explain it better :-)
