Enctype attribute in an HTML form is something that's been causing me some confusion, especially when dealing with 'multipart/form-data'. From what I gather, this enctype is necessary when a form requires any binary data, like file uploads, alongside normal textual data. However, I'm not entirely sure when exactly to use it and the specifics of how it modifies the behavior of the form data upon submission. Could anyone clarify the mechanics behind 'multipart/form-data', perhaps with an example of handling a file upload using a server-side script?
