Re: Renaming a file uploaded by a form.

Thanks for all your help. I got the file OK and I figured out how to rename it and make it an attachment to an email. But one thing is not working for me. When I look for the mime type I get the following error: Fatal error: Call to undefined function: mime_content_type() When I call it to define a variable: $ftype = mime_content_type($file) Any suggestions or ideas on how to do this? Thanks again!
