I had a problem uploading files using php4 on Windows 98, and testing on an IE5 browser. Only
certain files (e.g. .TXT files) were uploaded, but others returned a filename 'none'. I
couldn't see the problem in PHP as I had the correct php.ini settings etc. The answer was in
the HTML form:
<FORM ENCTYPE="multipart/form-data" ACTION="upload.php"
METHOD="POST">
Send this file: <INPUT NAME="userfile" TYPE="file">
<INPUT TYPE="submit" VALUE="Send File">
</FORM>
When I placed METHOD="POST" first, before ENCTYPE and ACTION, it worked fine:
<FORM METHOD="Post" ENCTYPE="multipart/form-data"
ACTION="upload.php">
I don't know the reason for this, but it might help others in the same situation. I do not know
whether the same applies to Netscape/Mozilla , Opera etc.
