Thanks for your patience, BJ, but I think I have not explained the problem
well. Here is more info:
The webserver is Linux running php 4.2.3
Uploaded files are csv
Scenarios
1) upload csv from mac using ftp set to "text": works
2) upload csv from mac using ftp set to "raw data": fails
3) upload csv from mac using html form: fails
4) upload csv from pc using html form: works
In each case the csv file is the same file, and the failure is that the line
endings don't seem to be recognized and all the csv lines run together
making one honker record. From the tests above, I can see that the script
works fine if the file is uploaded from the pc, or as "text" from the mac.
This implies that the server is correctly recognizing the line endings when
the file is in the right format. It also implies that uploading from the mac
using an html form is not in "text" format. Using
$infile = str_replace("\r", "\r\n", $infile);
did not help.
I doubt anyone will be using a mac for this service, but it would be nice to
figure out.
thanks,
steve
