Greetings all,
Using PHP 4.1.1 / Apache Server / MS Win 98 / IE 5.5

The following script is from Julie Meloni's book PHP Fast and Easy on page
170-174.

The first part is an html form in which the user browses and chooses a file
to be upoloaded to the server.

The script works fine in that when I chose a file and hit submit it, the
file ends up in:

C:\apache\htdocs

However, in the book, in the last illustration, she explains:

"Just to be sure, use the File/Open Page menu item in your _browser_ to
navigate through your filesystem and find the file that you just uploaded."

The illustration shows the .jpg file _within_ the browser screen on the
upper left hand side.

When I follow those steps and hit file / open, my paint program takes over
and opens the uploaded .jpg file and the browser interface of MS IE 5.5 is
gone.

Any advice would be appreciated.
Thank you.

Tony Ritter
