It does.  Then I type random garbage into the fields, and hit 
"Upload", and printing some server variables I get, among other 
things:

[SERVER_SOFTWARE] => Apache/1.3.27 (Unix) (Red-Hat/Linux) PHP/4.1.2 
[GATEWAY_INTERFACE] => CGI/1.1 
[SERVER_PROTOCOL] => HTTP/1.1 
[REQUEST_METHOD] => POST 
[QUERY_STRING] => n=Main.HomePage 
[REQUEST_URI] => /wiki?n=Main.HomePage 
[SCRIPT_NAME] => /wiki 
[PATH_TRANSLATED] => /home/meglab/wiki/index.php 
[PHP_SELF] => /wiki 
[argv] => Array ( [0] => n=Main.HomePage ) 
[argc] => 1

Well, /wiki by itself does return the same "PATH_TRANSLATED" 
variable as above, which is correct.  Also "SCRIPT_FILENAME".

Hmm.  That takes me back to the browse view, and this is set:

[HTTP_REFERER] => 
http://mysite.domain/wiki?n=Main.HomePage?action=upload

The form looks like

  <form enctype='multipart/form-data' 
action='http://mysite.domain/wiki?n=Main.HomePage' 
method='post'>
  <input type='hidden' name='n' value='Main.HomePage' />
  <input type='hidden' name='action' value='postupload' />
  <table border='0'>
    <tr><td align='right'>File to upload:</td><td><input
      name='uploadfile' type='file' /></td></tr>

    <tr><td align='right'>Name attachment as:</td>
      <td><input type='text' name='upname' value='' />
        <input type='submit' value=' Upload ' /><br />
        </td></tr></table></form>

It processes upload.php but never calls HandleUpload or 
HandlePostUpload.

I can try a more default install to see what happens...

(I appreciate the help with this.)
