Nah im not going to process it, unless you can edit my script to check for, which i highly doubt, that should be it.

Also i've been doing some research and just wanted to ask you is there a way I can use ftp in my script to upload the file so that I won't have to change those settings or will this process still require for those setting to be changed?

check for viruses:

• your hosting must be allowed to execute files (which I seriously doubt)
• you have to know where the antivirus program is and what parameters it expects
• then use exec() to run it

ftp:

• your script can use FTP if PHP has been compiled with FTP support - but that's likely
• but it wouldn't solve your problem - you would need your users to use FTP instead of HTTP upload

To let your users upload files via FTP safely (safely for you, not for them), you need this:

• set up a separate FTP user with access only to a specified directory (so that he cannot mess with your scripts)
• this directory must not be allowed to run PHP scripts (best if it's outside httpdocs) otherwise someone will misuse it to run a spam-bot

Thanks a lot, I don't think I could ask anymore from you, though if theres anything I need help with i'll let you know, if thats fine with you, but until then I think this topic has been solved as all I can do now is just wait for my host to update the php.ini.

Thanks again,
