RE: [PHP] Images being uploaded in ASCII format

Hi Raditha. Thanks very much for your reply. I've not been having much luck with this one. This is how the images should appear: http://web.unbc.ca/~gossep/sample_images/1.gif http://web.unbc.ca/~gossep/sample_images/nav-02.jpg And here is how they appear after being uploaded: http://web.unbc.ca/~gossep/sample_images/1_uploaded.gif http://web.unbc.ca/~gossep/sample_images/nav-02_uploaded.jpg The results to me seem the same as if an image were FTPed in ascii mode instead of binary mode (or auto-detect which would ultimately set the mode to binary). I just downloaded the XVI32 hex editor, but what should I be looking for when I open the files and examine the contents? Some other particulars to this situation: I've tried uploading the same images through the demo site on the company from which we purchased our editor (www.devedit.com) and they upload fine, making me certain it's a system setting on my system causing the problem. My system is as follows: Dell Precision 340 Workstation RedHat 9.0 Apache 2.0 PHP 4.2.2 Thanks with your help, Raditha. Greatly appreciated.

Have you opened the files with a hex editor to see the contents? I am sorry if you have mentioned these before, i don't have the older messages in this thread.
