Any ideas on fixing it without breaking the BC? Ouch. Issue an E_NOTICE when it happens? Add a new CURLOPT_FILEFIELDS that takes an array of the parameters that are supposed to be files, so the ones that are expected to have "@..." do not fire the E_NOTICE. Issuing E_NOTICE is a BC, I suppose, but you'd think people would appreciate an alert about a potential security threat... -- brain cancer update: http://richardlynch.blogspot.com/search/label/brain%20tumor Donate: https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_s-xclick&hosted_button_id=FS9NLTNEEKWBE
