Precisely where did you get the "b" in your second parameter to fopen?
I didn't see it on the fopen manual page at:
http://www.php.net/fopen <http://www.php.net/fopen>
Er -- quoting from that very page:
Note: The mode may contain the letter 'b'. This is useful only on systems
which differentiate between binary and text files (i.e. Windows. It's
useless on Unix). If not needed, this will be ignored. You are encouraged to
include the 'b' flag in order to make your scripts more portable
Cheers!
Mike
