[ciapug] uploading files with php

[Scott Phillips]

Well, this looks like it worked... kind of.  IE opens it up, but FireFox 
and Netscape display an open/save dialog box with the default application 
being "AcroExch".  What the heck is that?  Can't find much useful info on 
it.  It works, but I prefer that the docs open in Reader straightaway like 
everyone is used to.  Do you have any more info on this?

Mike, I checked and the max size looks fine at this point.  (The documents 
in question are only ~900K anyway.  I don't expect anything larger.)

Thanks for your help!
