Richard Lynch you are my new best friend! grep -n uploads
/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf tells me "279:php_admin_value file_uploads off".
I don't know how I could have missed it!
I changed httpd.conf to have php_admin_value file_uploads On and everything
worked like it was supposed to this morning before I had this headache!
My weekend officially begins!
*virtual beers all around*
