Maybe I should use a simple ob_start() in this case. I understand ob_start()-ob_end_flush() collects data in a server buffer and outputs it all together but in the case of my script the only output is the file I am uploading and the output is only in th echo $contents. Unless I am missing details of ob_start() wouldn't this be equivalent in this case? Thanks
