Re: file field not request

you need to setup the form to accept multiple mimetypes:
$form = new Zend_Form();
$form->setAttrib('enctype', 'multipart/form-data');

also, if I remember correctly, getPost(); will not include stuff from the $_FILES PHP namespace. You can get around this with a little hack though:

        $_POST = array_merge($_POST, $_FILES);

or just access $_FILES directly
