That was added afterwards in an attempt to debug the problem. It fails in
the same manner without the <cfif> or <cfoutput>. I will need something
to test within a <cfif> statement to know whether a file has been uploaded
or not so that I don't call the <cffile> statement when it's not needed.
I just noticed that I get the same CF error message if I use a
non-existant form field name. Surprised CF doesn't give an undefined
variable error.
Error in CFFILE tag
The form field specified in the CFFILE tag (X) does not contain an
uploaded file. Please be sure that you have specified the correct form
field name.
