[PHP] RESOLVED --> RE: [PHP] Mime type prepeded at file upload
This was a problem with the version of PHP that I had installed. PHP-4.0.4pl1. Apparently there is a bug that causes this to be written to the front of the file. Solution? Upgrade.

This renders the file unusable when it is downloaded as MS Word cannot open the file and tries to install some kind of converter. Any ideas for me?

RE: [PHP] Mime type prepeded at file upload
In that case, I don't think I understand what you're asking. Are you saying that the file stored on the server's filesystem after a multipart/form-data POSTing has the MIME type added to its content? Because our servers handle thousands of such transactions daily and it's certainly not happening here. If you're saying that you're running an obsolete version of PHP, well, updating should be a prerequisite to posting with problems. miguel On Mon, 25 Mar 2002, David McInnis wrote: > I have no such statements in my code.

I have no such statements in my code. This is looking like a known issue in PHP. I gather that is taken care of in later releases.

My recommendation would be to take out the statements you added to your PHP program that prepend the MIME type. miguel -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

[PHP] Mime type prepeded at file upload
When I save a file that has been uploaded through PHP it prepends (adds to the beginning of the file) the mime type. This renders the file unusable when it is downloaded as MS Word cannot open the file and tries to install some kind of converter. Any ideas for me?
