Dear Monks, I have a cgi script which uses forms to pass information into a sql table. The script reloads its self dependent on the number of entries defined by the user. This works perfectly fine. However, I am having problems uploading the file defined by the user - using html form types. The name of the file is created but nothing written to it. The following code takes the information from the form which is used to update sql. I have omitted the the post methods to process info .

$previouspage =$ENV{'HTTP_REFERER'};
### i know this is not the best solution

if ($previouspage =~ m/int/) {
##define scalars.



$query = new CGI;
$filename = $query->param("profile_data");  #read infilename of data

   open(OUTPUT, ">$filename");
   binmode $filename;
   binmode OUTPUT;
   ($bytesread,$buffer,$total);

   while ($bytesread = read($filename,$buffer,1024) ) {
       $total += $bytesread;
               if ($bytesread > 10000000) { 
                          close(OUTPUT);
       unlink "$filename";
                                           }
                 print OUTPUT $buffer;
                                                     }
                                                                                                                 close(OUTPUT);
    }

Thanks
