For huge files, that might be unacceptable. I'm not sure how UUEncode handles it. yeah, I found an email thread from 2001 saying base64 is the way to go. however for every 6 bytes it creates 8 bytes or something (hence the 33% bloat) there's also options like http://www.yenc.org/ - but this would require java support (or appropriate extensions written) and server-end support (PHP, or in-webserver code) base64 is -probably- the easiest. PHP has both uuencode and base64 standard. However, need to look at it from the client angle - Java probably has base64 easily available, not sure about uudecode. Not sure about flash, or any other client programs; or web browsers themselves too... -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
