Yes, that could be. But even $HTTP_POST_FILES is still available (but
deprecated). You enable it with register_long_arrays=on in the php.ini
file.
BTW - $_FILES and the rest have been around since php 4.1. Any code
written since then should be using the new arrays. But I also suspect
your code was written before then :-)
