PHP - FILES array empty when using upload

I have I file upload form that looks like this

<form action="" name="edit" method="POST" class="form-horizontal" enctype="multipart/form-data">  
   <input type="file" name="zipfile">
   <input type="submit" class="btn btn-default" value="Save">
</form>

This basically POSTs to it self. But at the top of the same file I output the $_FILES array with print_r($_FILES);, but it is empty after I submit the form with a 100 kb file.

I have checked my error.log file in /var/log/apache2, but there is nothing there.

My php.ini file is set to

file_uploads = On
upload_tmp_dir = /var/www/tmpdir/
upload_max_filesize = 1024M

But the tmpdir directory remains empty. This directory is set with 775 permissions and even 777 for a test, but same results. I have also, after changing the file, restarted the Apache2 service.

I must be missing something very obvious here?

You need enctype="multipart/form-data" in the form tag

<form action="" name="edit" method="POST" class="form-horizontal" enctype="multipart/form-data">
   <input type="file" name="zipfile">
   <input type="submit" class="btn btn-default" value="Save">
</form>
