texte = HiI had this a while ago when users were uploading from PC's, let me have a look at how I fixed it and I'll get back to you. I used the standard upload script that was on the SmithMicro snippets pages years ago. From memory it was to do with the actual filename variable being not quite as well defined as it could be but I'll have to check. It's 9:45 at night here and I'm stopping now but I'll have a look.Cheers========================================Steve Craig - Asylum Interactive LtdTel +44 1330 860550 Fax +44 1330 860880========================================http://www.asylumweb.comEmail: steve@asylumweb.comSkype: s.craig - iChat: steve.craig========================================On 1 Oct 2009, at 21:29, Brian Wachter wrote:> Sorry for the small amount of information.

[WebDNA] File Upload Problem ("Brian Wachter" 2009)

HiI had this a while ago when users were uploading from PC's, let me have a look at how I fixed it and I'll get back to you. I used the standard upload script that was on the SmithMicro snippets pages years ago. From memory it was to do with the actual filename variable being not quite as well defined as it could be but I'll have to check. It's 9:45 at night here and I'm stopping now but I'll have a look.Cheers========================================Steve Craig - Asylum Interactive LtdTel +44 1330 860550 Fax +44 1330 860880========================================http://www.asylumweb.comEmail: steve@asylumweb.comSkype: s.craig - iChat: steve.craig========================================On 1 Oct 2009, at 21:29, Brian Wachter wrote:> Sorry for the small amount of information.
