Hi Brett My form is effectively identical to yours <form enctype="multipart/form-data" action="/uploadfiles.php" method="post"> <b>Upload a file:</b> <input name="userfile" type="file" size="100"> No the first part of the file name is just dropped and the file with the truncated name is saved in the correct place. But with it escaping the quote do you mean that you end up with a file with \ in it? That would be an illegal filename.

I don't suppose the file gets put into a directory named with the first portion of the file? FWIW here is what my form tag looks like <form enctype="multipart/form-data" action="uploadFiles.php" method="POST"> and the filechooser <input name="userfile" type="file" > Bret -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
