Thanks.  I've added a note to the file element in the form api reference
along with a link to the new handbook page that was created from that
thread - Handling File Uploads [1].

It seems this has come up several times. People trying to use the 'file'
type element in their forms have no reason to know they need to
include...


<?php
$form['#attributes'] = array('enctype' => 'multipart/form-data');
?>


...in their form array.


Could this be added to the 'file' element in the Usage Example or at
least as a footnote.  The FAPI Reference seems like the best place to
put such a tip.


(One recent query... http://drupal.org/node/111764.  I don't know if
that handbook page was ever written, but the reference should mention
this, too.)
