Well, from what I know, the temporary uploaded file is deleted as soon as
the form request is finished, which would make the file info in the session
no longer valid upon the next page load (I may be wrong in this).  I'd
recommend storing the file in your own temporary directory and adding it's
location to your file db.  Then once the user finishes the details form,
move the file to the permanent location and update the meta data, or remove
it accordingly.
