This might seem odd to some of you but I'm having an unusual problem, it's not the first time this happened either. My script runs nearly perfect right now..it uploads ONLY image formats onto my server, on the other hand if the file attempted to upload is not the correct format no errors are being displayed. (even though there aren't errors, the file isn't uploaded..so that's good). You will notice throughout my script I commented out all
or dies because the stop the script from posting any data other than the form to the screen.
Does anyone have any idea why or die would be affecting my script even if it isn't called?
