I still have the attachment.php problem with all posted files in the PBEM section. Limited testing elsewhere on Apolyton produced mixed results. Scenario files in the UCII archive download normally (correct name and suffix), but the Indeo Drivers posted on the Civ2 page appear as "view.php". So something is definitely wrong.To La Fayette, as fine a gentleman as ever trod the Halls of Apolyton
From what I understand of that Civ game of yours, it's all about launching one's own spaceship before the others do. So this is no big news after all: my father just beat you all to the stars once more. - Philippe Baise -
I was able to enter the forum in the week-end from home and now I write from office. It seems that it was a temporary problem.

It's finally worth coming to work again.

EDIT: Oddly enough, the file works if renamed (so I can use it in the PBEM) but the name is always "attachment.php".Last edited by Kull; July 19, 2005, 00:04.To La Fayette, as fine a gentleman as ever trod the Halls of Apolyton

It sounds more like a browser problem than a server problem. I recall having that problem with Netscape waay back in the misty dawn of time.I love being beaten by women - LorizaelComment

So to sum up, no one really knows what happened , others did experience it and whatever it was seems to be over??
Well thanks I guess. I'll try from work later tonight to see if the problem still exists for meYou don't get to 300 losses without being a pretty exceptional goaltender.-- Ben Kenobi speaking of Roberto LuongoComment

Oh, when I try to download an uploaded file, I get view.phpComment

Maniac, you can rename a file when it´s downloaded. If it is a word document for instance, you can rename it with a proper file ending (in this case .doc). Then it´s possible to open it with Word even if it was named attachment.php when you downloaded it.I love being beaten by women - LorizaelComment

Normally I'd agree with you, except my browser was working fine when I left home a couple weeks ago. While on the trip I read the message boards (using a different machine) and heard about the "php" problem. When I returned home, suddenly all the downloaded files show up as "attachment.php". Now that could be completely unrelated to the earlier php problem, but if so why are others still reporting the same difficulty? And if this was some kind of random browser problem, why haven't we heard this SPECIFIC complaint before?Originally posted by Dr Zoidberg

DaveV on the other Civ2 PBEM Game reported having problems downloading the save as well. Not sure if the same problem or not, but it seems clear that Kull is correct here.

I guess. There might be some Poly-IE problem only. I tried downloading it with Mozilla Firefox and it was no problem at all. With IE I got a .html document when I right-clicked and chose "save target as".Originally posted by Kull

Nope, Apolyton still has a problem.
The simple solution to this problem would of course be to change browsers. I noticed that IE was horrendously slow in addition to the .php problem...
EDIT: When I logged in via IE and downloaded it just by clicking the link it worked like it´s supposed to. I got a .net file of 98 kb (ha_a.760.net) Strange...
