As such, your function is looking for a localized variable called $HTTP_POST_FILES and finds nothing. Add the following as the first line of your function, and it should work fine: global $HTTP_POST_FILES; See here for more info: http://us3.php.net/manual/en/reserved.variables.php#reserved.variables.f iles Hope this helps! -- Mike Johnson Smarter Living, Inc.
