Thanks for the offer of checking my script. Although it relies on quite a few functions which are defined in include files, the actual upload form is fairly basic and I can't see that it would work for some file types/sizes and not others. (Incidentally, magic_quotes_runtime has always been set Off, and the file corruption I'm seeing is typically only a few characters in a 2Mb file)
I'm beginning to think it is a more basic problem with Apache/HTTP. I've recently noticed that the browser we are obliged to work with at the moment (Netscape 4.74) is sending nearly all its requests as HTTP 1.0. I believe this has a serious impact on performance, so I wondering if it might also introduce corruption. Anybody know why my browser uses HTTP 1.0 and not 1.1? I can't see any way of configuring it but I know it is compatible with HTTP 1.1.

I remember having this problem, and if you open the file with vedit, it will show a ton of \0\1\x and things like that. Per chance can you send me the script and I will test it and see what I can make of it?

I did have magic_quotes_gpc on, but turning it off hasn't fixed the problem. :-( I have actually found that corruption showed up when magic_quates_gpc was turned on. I would check that if I were you.
