Set error_reporting to E_ALL in your php.ini to see all warnings and
notices. Good code should be free of such things, so E_ALL is a must on
a development system.

Yep, because it's not stored in the $_POST array, but in $_FILES
instead. Do a

print '<pre>';
print_r($_FILES);
print '</pre>';

at the beginning of the script, then call it in the browser and upload
something.
