If you have not included the enctype="multipart/form-data" parameter in
your form submission you will get this error. It can also be caused by
users with browsers older than MSIE 4 or Netscape 3 trying to use the <input
type="file"> tag on a page. These browsers don't know about this tag.
Check your error log and you can see what browser version is used when the
error occurs. These days it's usually it's MSIE 3.02.
