Uploading image via web page. Create the new file but file is zero  
length.  
Any ideas where I am going wrong?

MaD,  
not sure if you are being funny or very clever.  
I raised this problem with the code in a previous post (search for “!  
norricorp”) and got no replies so I thought a shorter post may attract  
some useful answers.  
So, if you want to have a look at my earlier post and give an answer,  
it would be most appreciated because I am stuck.

well, i did look at your code and answered. but still, do you really  
think people should search for your older posts to answer your latest  
one? your the one who wants some help, so try to supply as much  
information on your problem as possible…
