Upload testing via local machine

Background:

I have Apache configured on my local windows computer. This
configuration is used only for development. I primarily am developing
phpnuke sites using php and mysql which are also running on the local
windows machine.

Question:

I found this problem a few years ago and it has once again surfaced.
I have a form which will allow the user to upload images to the site.
The problem occurs during the upload. Being on a local machine I
cannot get the files to transfer or even be read by the code. If I
upload the code to an remote server on a UNIX machine running apache
it works fine.

The file is uploaded via a "multipart/form-data" form.

This problem makes development very difficult.

I'm not getting any apache errors during this, but feel it's to do
with operating via local machine.

If anyone can help I would gladly appreciate it. At least tell me if
they think it's a php issue, local machine issue or Apache one.

Thanks in advance

Research and read about DOS versus UNIX line endings.
Binmode your read file handle and binmode your write file
handle when working with DOS. More simply, use binmode.

Binmode is not needed for UNIX for most languages,
unless you are using a Perl 5.8.x version.

Thanks for the advice. I will look into this:
