OK essentially I need to write an upload form for something I am doing. I basically have it working while consulting the php website, http://www.php.net/manual/en/feature...ad.post-method

Now the problem, it's seems that certain files, just fail. PSD, some compression formats... All that's actually worked is a word doc, an image and a text file. Kind of limited I think. Is it the presence of a resource fork that's messing with it or what? Can that just be overlooked since the main data is in the data fork for all the files I want to upload.

Thanks

I think you've hit the point. You'd need to binhex the files, but since PHP is on the server it cannot binhex your files.
Another way to achieve your goal would be to sniff if the browser is on a mac and then with a javascvript ask the user if the file has been binhexed/stuffed,or macbinaried ...

What's the size of each of the files?

I'd say 99% of PHP installations have a max-post size of 8Mb, but only 2Mb for post-files. If your .psd file (or any other file for that matter) is over that, it's an automatic fail.

It's easy to change if you have your own copy of PHP running - you just change the values in the php.ini file. Otherwise, speak to your systems admin and they should be able to fix that for you.

That is, of course, if that IS the problem. Can you post a code snippet to determine if there's anything out of sorts? The enctype is definitely "multipart/form-data"? Sometimes a hidden field within the form called "MAX_FILE_SIZE" with a value of "4096000" may help.
