php $_FILES empty

Question

I got a file upload form using enctype=multipart/form-data, but my $_FILES array is always empty. max_upload_size is big enough (2MB, I'm testing with 100kb files). the exactly same code is working on other hosts, so I think something is wrong with my webhoster's php settings. does anyone know what I could check for? when I ask them they always tell me it can't be their fault -_-

EDIT:

You asked for code, I didn't post it because it's pretty complicated (a Shopware plugin), but I think I can extract the important parts:

HTML (Smarty):

<form method="post" action="{url action=saveRegister}" enctype="multipart/form-data">

PHP (inside my event handler):

file_put_contents('ul.log',serialize($_FILES));

Result (var_dumped unserialized):

array(0) {}

Full Form HTML: http://pastebin.com/Wq1yBTux

Check the permissions on the folder you are trying to upload to — Patsy Issa

@PatsyIssa the move hasn't been made yet, the file should be in the tmp folder and the $_FILES array would be populated, we aren't at the stage that the file cannot be moved to the upload directory yet — pythonian29033

Found the error: some "security feature" of the framework "cleaned up" $_POST, so move_uploaded_file couldn't check if the file was uploaded correctly

Install Firebug (see network tab) or Livehttpheaders to see if your file is actually sent to the server and if the HTTP headers are correctly send by the browser.

They might be wrong for any reason (Content-Type not allowed, POST method not allowed)

It should give you data to look at and configuration parameters to check.
