did you compile PHP with --enable-mime-magic?  if not, this extension will
not work.  there are work arounds.  one is....a class that resides on
phpclasses.org that will give you a mime based on the file extension.  and
i'm sure there are other ways....

Thanks for all your help.  I got the file OK and I figured out how to
rename
it and make it  an attachment to an email.  But one thing is not working
for
me.  When I look for the mime type I get the following error:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: mime_content_type()

When I call it to define a variable:

$ftype = mime_content_type($file)

Any suggestions or ideas on how to do this?

Thanks again!
Tim
