For those who kindly replied to my web-mail (which is not working right now) here is the code requested.
After checking the submit variable is set we do this: $the_data = add_microsoft_escapes(fread(fopen($data_blob,"rb"), filesize($data_blob))); $data_blob always reports "none" The form encode type statement: <form enctype="multipart/form-data" name="form" action='<? echo $PHP_SELF ?>' method="post" onSubmit="javascript: return (checkForm(this));"> checkForm just ensures that required fields are indeed filled. The input field: <td><input type="file" onchange="javascript:isChanged=true;" name="data_blob" size=15></td> LT -- PHP Windows Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
