You mean it automatically gives values to variables $image_type and
$image_name ? No, it doesn't. You can get the type (MIME) and the name
of the file with $_FILES['filename']['type'] for the MIME-type and
$_FILES['filename']['name'] for the filename. I encourage you to take a
better look here : http://www.php.net/features.file-upload and you can
also print_r/var_dump($_FILES);

Hope that helps,
