I can confirm this behavior on Windows 2000 and php 4.0.5
PHP should not scan every POST for files and save them locally.
Perhaps, there could be a function which could extract the file
segments from the POSTed data on request? For backward
compatibility, PHP could offer a flag in php.ini.
I think the POSTed data is parsed at the startup, how about
if that behavior could be controlled when the encoding
type is multipart/form-data? (again, using a flag in php.ini)
maybe a php_multipart_post (), which will cause stdin
to be read (for CGI) and variables to be created as on startup?
