The changes are already in the predefined variables
section, but as you can see, the manual was built
-05-01-2002- last time. We have an automated
build process, and we have some problems with it right
now, so the online manuals are not updated for some
weeks now.

The $_FILES array is the worst of these.  Its existence can be deduced
only by looking at the naming scheme of the new arrays versus the old
one (or typing $_FILES in Google!), but it'd be nice to see this nifty
new feature documented.  I figure the main reason people people still
use $postvar instead of $HTTP_POST_VARS['postvar'] is because of
lazyness, so at least $_POST['postvar'] will help wrangle them in the
right direction.  Maybe.

Anyways... here are a couple of places where it would have been nice to
see some info.
