Re: Help with mail notifying via file upload

Are you positive fileupload.php is passing $userfile to the mail() script? A blank result would seem to indicate that it's not getting passed. You could try passing it through the URL if they're seperate scripts. Or, you could just include the mail() script in fileupload.php, eliminating the need to create a global variable.
