File Types when uploading

[Anon]

Hi ALL

I have a problem with a PHP script which uploads selected files to a directory on the web server. All standard stuff really.

The script works fine in IE but I seem to have a problem with Opera 6 (Windows) and a MAC version of IE.

When I display the file type of the file which has been selected for upload, the following is displayed:

Opera 6: application/octet-stream; name=\"Win98.inf\"

IE: application/octet-stream

MAC: file type is empty

Why is Opera return the name as part of the file type when IE doesn't?

Does anyone have ideas why uploading files on a MAC will not work?

HELP!!!

Assuming you are using the following:

copy('selected image', 'server directory')

as your upload function, I have found that in order for it to work in Opera, the 'server directory' needs to be defined as an 'http:' address instead of a 'server type address' in other words this works:
copy("c:/images/catpic.jpg","http://www.cats.com/images/catpic.jpg")

for some strange reason, this does not work in Opera:
copy ("c:/images/catpic.jpg","/www/c/cats/images/catpic.jpg")

I hope that helps.
