Hi Marc!
So, another suggestion. We reverse the logic of this part of code.
If we cannot detect that file uploads are disabled, we set $is_upload to TRUE.
No, that's not really what I meant. I just wanted to propose, let the user choose via $cfg[] option to override any autodetections for $is_upload. Like this:
$cfg['OverrideUpload'] = FALSE; // If set to TRUE, you can choose to override auto-detection of your PHP's ability to allow file uploads and ENABLE them by all means. Some PHP-installations permit the auto-detection function (ini_get) because of security issues so phpMyAdmin is not able to see, if you can or cannot use file uploads. WARNING: If your PHP installation is not able to allow file uploads, you will definitely get errors and warnings when setting this to true.
Should also beat any existing records for the longest variable comment. ;-))
