Maybe that is not the correct diction. I picked it up somewhere digging
through bugs looking for an explanation. But by html arrays I mean
specify input names as arrays, that you handle as arrays in php.

html array
<input name='files[file1]' type='file'> 

vs.

not an html array
<input name='file' type='file'>
