Your formvariable test below should have shown you the problem inherent in using enctype="multipart/form-data; that is, the name themselves are transformed into a more complex string. In your validator, you're expecting to find a variable named "Blogtext" but now it's actually called "Content-Disposition: form-data; name="BlogText"", so your validator never even sees [blogtext] to validate for it. It sees [Content-Disposition: form-data; name="BlogText"] though. With my uploads I use formvariables and pull out the names using middle, and use [text] to rewrite the variables with the original names I intended. Then the following validation code you expect will work. I think the sample you downloaded probably has something like this in it. It differentiates between the one variable holding the file itself, and the others by looking for the presence of "filename" in the string. Sounds complicated and looks ugly, but once you wrap your head around it, it makes sense.
