I couldn't get the other code to give the user back an error to work
either.
In one instance, where they are uploading a photo, there is no reason
for the user to know that the name was changed (to protect the
innocent). But it is true, it would be better if I could give back an
error if it sees that there is illegal stuff in the form submission.
I dont' know why it isn't working, but I am so frustrated I'm ready to
chuck the file folder out the window and let the dusty cat eat it...
