That's not really necessary, as Apache::Request does that for you. If the upload method fails, then you won't get anything in the UPLOAD key. The generic form handler does not know what field(s) in your form were file upload forms, and so this method just lets you check the one key (UPLOAD) and, if it is defined, then you know you got something. Hopefully, *all* browsers put the file name in the parameter, since that is the defined behavior. However, regardless of this, the file upload object contains all the necessary information to reconstruct the file, so you don't even have to look in that field. -- Rich Bowen Apache Administrators Handbook ApacheAdmin.com
