file upload problem

Hello all. I receive a unknown error at the fopen statement. I initialized the php.ini file with c:\windows\temp as the temp_dir variable. The script does create the phpX temp file and removes it, but i can't seem to get the contents into the $data variable. I use win98 with Apache Win32 and PHP extensions installed. I also installed MySQL ofcourse. I hope someone can help ! Kind Regards Marcel P.S. This is the script is use: ( It is from phpbuilder.com ) <?php // store.php3 - by Florian Dittmer <dittmer@gmx.net> // Example php script to demonstrate the storing of binary files into // an sql database. More information can be found at http://www.phpbuilder.com/ ?> <HTML> <HEAD><TITLE>Store binary data into SQL Database</TITLE></HEAD> <BODY> <?php // code that will be executed if the form has been submitted: if ($submit) { // connect to the database // (you may have to adjust the hostname,username or password) MYSQL_CONNECT( "localhost", "root", "password"); mysql_select_db( "binary_data"); $data = addslashes(fread(fopen($form_data, "r"), filesize($form_data))); $result=MYSQL_QUERY( "INSERT INTO binary_data (description,bin_data,filename,filesize,filetype) ". "VALUES ('$form_description','$data','$form_data_name','$form_data_size','$form_data _type')"); $id= mysql_insert_id(); print "<p>This file has the following Database ID: <b>$id</b>"; MYSQL_CLOSE(); } else { // else show the form to submit new data: ?> <form method="post" action=" <?php echo $PHP_SELF; ?>" enctype="multipart/form-data"> File Description:<br> <input type="text" name="form_description" size="40"> <INPUT TYPE="hidden" name="MAX_FILE_SIZE" value="1000000"> <br>File to upload/store in database:<br> <input type="file" name="form_data" size="40"> <p><input type="submit" name="submit" value="submit"> </form> <?php } ?> </BODY> </HTML>
