I had to use _FILES instead of _POST I still get these errors though: "Warning: fopen("", "r") - Success in /usr/local/apache/htdocs/cj/aanr/admin/passcode_admin.php on line 151 Warning: stat failed for (errno=2 - No such file or directory) in /usr/local/apache/htdocs/cj/aanr/admin/passcode_admin.php on line 151 Warning: fread(): supplied argument is not a valid File-Handle resource in /usr/local/apache/htdocs/cj/aanr/admin/passcode_admin.php on line 151" And here's the line that produces them: $data = fread(fopen("$_FILES[passcodeFile_name]", "r"), filesize("$_FILES[passcodeFile]")); any ideas on that one? This is the problem I have been working on for a few days now. Thanks, Tyler
