See: http://drupal.org/node/28576. Robert Douglas said I should send this to the mailinglist. The problem is that when you upload an image file, this file is included (as in "include($file)") during preview. This results in errors like: Parse error: parse error, unexpected '@' in /home/demolici/shizzle/images/temp/crazyscrabbledude_0.jpg on line 30 When uploading a GIF file, it seems like the binary file is included in the HTML source. The reason for this is "phptemplate": it does a "include($file)" in "_phptemplate_default" to include a template file (like "node.tpl.php): if ($file) { extract($variables); ob_start(); include($file); ... } Now if you have a form element called "file" (like in image.module), somehow there exists a "$variables['file']", so when doing the "extract($variables)", the local "$file" is overwritten by "$variables['file']". Obviously the wrong "$file" is then included, resulting in the error above. A fix is added to the issue (#28576): before "extract($variables)" I propose to do a "unset ($variables['file'])". I'm not sure if this is the right fix. Robrecht
