Hi,
Thanks for the reponse. I tested again, but it was not the problem
with ENCTYPE. I am getting file with $_FILES. I think this is due to
CGI configuration if not with php.ini. Because when I check the
version by using "PHP -v" command, it shows "4.3.10 (cgi)" but when
check that using phpinfo() function, it is showing as PHP 4.2.2. Why
the difference? I am working in that view to find the solution.
Currently I got a temporary solution. I am jsut copying from $_FILES
to $_REQUEST at the very begining of the script. Because I can't
change all the scripts now.

Thanks,
S.Srinadh.
