if(($_SERVER['CONTENT_TYPE']=="application/x-www-form-urlencoded")&&($_SERVER["REQUEST_METHOD"]=='POST')) {return true;}

The above code is a very good way to detect if a form is about to be submitted.
Now, it works fine, but if you are uploading files, it fails? why?

@Zahymaka that only works for PHP to see the Uploaded Contents,the method type should be $_FILES because that is the Super Globals that references all (Input Files).
