RE: [PHP] Images being uploaded in ASCII format

Something wrong is with your "uploader" program... look at this: Content-Disposition: form-data; name="upload"; filename="C:\Documents and Settin gs\gossep\Desktop\ewimages\1.gif" And if you look closer to the data in the file, you will see it has 2 GIF or something (GIF8 twice)... so yep, you have something really wrong with your uploader.
