Re: [phplib] HELP: Problem uploading files in PHP From: Lazaro Ferreira (lazaro <email protected>)

Hi all

Finally, the problem is fixed

A bug in PHP 4.0.4pl1 for Red Hat (some versions 7.0,7.1 and probably more)
adds new lines "\n" characters to any value posted with a form that includes
a "file" input type (UPLOAD FILE FORMS)
It seems like the bug is fixed in version 4.05+, nevertheless a workaround
can be found
in www.php.net in the BUGs database, search for "upload file"

Thanks for your help

Hi again,
just re-read my post and I can see how it didn't make sense. It was meant to
say:

....AFAIK, *PHP* can't upload files in safe mode.
