Title: reminding users they need to set 'files' => true

Docs fail to mention that you need to add 'files' => true when opening a form, otherwise Input::file() will return null. Happy for the text to be reworded, but please make sure it's added to the documentation. Spent a good 30 minutes fighting the framework because the documentation was incomplete :)
