Actually... thank you for this, it helps a because I have not dealt with php, and it helps me to understand more of what the php script is expecting. I'm going to spend alot of time studying the article you mentioned that anonymous monk has provided. At first look, I'm having trouble figuring out how I'm going to incorporate the $_FILES['Filedata']['tmp_name'] into anonymous monk's $lightweight_fh  = $q->upload('field_name'), but I understand most of the rest of it. I guess, *heh*, wish me luck, php is not my forte'.
