What is happening? Why does > "echo($userfile)" print "\\php2"? Hmmmm. It should be in the tmp directory you set in your php3.ini file... What's that set to? The file may well be showing up and disappearing -- PHP deletes uploaded files for security reasons. You need to copy or otherwise process the file in the upload script. You *might* be able to put sleep(20); at the end of your formhandler.php3 and have the desktop folder to your tmp directory open and see the file in that 10-second window... -- Richard Lynch | If this was worth $$$ to you, buy a CD US Customer Support Director | from one of the artists listed here: Zend Technologies USA | http://www.L-I-E.com/artists.htm http://www.zend.com | (this has nothing to do with Zend, duh!)
