Please help me upload a binary file through a CGI script.

Thanks Chris,

I tried it but still get weird error, maybe it's Apache?
Text files are fine, but when I select an Excel file I get:

[Wed Nov 27 16:16:08 2002] [error] [client 192.1.1.209] Premature end of
script headers: /opt/apache2/lib/cgi-bin/upload-pm.cgi


I'm running out of time, I gotta go and start preparing for the feast
tomorrow.

Thanks for your help, the code looks 100% better and I'm sure it 99% there,
I'll take it home and work on it over the long weekend...

Mark
