I know $HTTP_POST_FILES is an array! But it happens to be an array of arrays
- i.e., $HTTP_POST_FILES['userfile'] is also an array, because it should
contain $HTTP_POST_FILES['userfile']['tmp_name'] (for example). 

Having looked up in my php manual, it seems the 3-dimensional array I was
thinking of was array form (eg. <input type="file" name="userfile[]"..>),
which does lead to HTTP_POST_FILES['item'][*] being arrays rather than
values. 

Anyway, back to the point - Harry's code doesn't work over here, although
it's not because of a parse error - I think HTTP_POST_FILES is only php
version 4 or above? $userfile, $userfile_name, $userfile_size etc., all work
for me though. Harry's scripts don't work for me, but that's because I don't
have a HTTP_POST_FILES - it doesn't generate a parse error.

If $username (for example) isn't working, I suspect the problem is with the
Apache conf - check for limits on POST, etc.. maybe? Still shouldn't
generate a parse error tho'....

Cheers,

Alex.
