[ciapug] uploading files with php

[Scott Phillips]

Nope, no special mappings in there at all.  Checked on a few different 
machines, with the same results.  Mac/Safari does not open it at all with 
an error "Could not create file"... whatever that means.

Also, I get the same results whether I upload the pdf with php or Dreamweaver.

Any more suggestions, I'd be grateful!  Thanks!
