# FORMS AND MINIVEND

MiniVend uses HTML forms for many of its functions, including ordering, searching, updating account information, and maintaining databases. Order operations possibly include ordering an item, selecting item size or other attributes, and reading user information for payment and shipment. Search operations may also be triggered by a form.

MiniVend supports file upload with the `multipart/form-data` type. The file is placed in memory and discarded if not accessed with the `[value-extended name=filevar file_contents=1]` tag or written with `[value-extended name=filevar outfile=your_file_name]`. See Extended Value Access and File Upload.
