Hi, I'm trying to upload a file, and then process the contents of the file. Mostly this works fine, but in some cases, the results on the page are incorrect. It prints the processed filename correctly, but the processed contents are the contents from a previously uploaded file.

Any ideas where it goes wrong ?

Thanks! Rianne
