Re: Dealing with Mac files

2 things to note about Mac files... some browsers (IE) intermittently perform a MacBinary encoding of the file, and neglect to inform the server application. The data will be unparsable until decoded. You will need to first do a check to see if the file is MacBinary, and then execute some kind of utility to decode it on your Windows / Unix server. There's a few utilities available: http://download.com.com/3120-20-0.html?qt=macbinary&tg=dl-2001 Second, the end-of-line character on the mac is just '\r', as opposed to '\r\n' on windows, and '\n' on Unix... it looks like you already found this out... so a lot of the useful PHP utility functions may not work well. You may be stuck using 'fopen' and 'fgets' to parse the file: http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.fgets.php -- Brian 'Bex' Huff bex@stellent.com Phone: 952-903-2023 Fax: 952-829-5424
