*Well, the person uploading it owns the site, so I don't see any room for
malicious behavior, and his login to the back office is also secure. but
thanks for the tip, a lot of people do forget to encrypt. My min problem is
knowing that if I use the function saveData() { function, is it sending the
data enctype="multipart/form-data" or not. And even if I did use _POST, I am
not exactly sure how I would do that. How about this, I know this is asking
a lot, but if I send you the script, can you show me where to do what? *
