The following PHP script is stable on *NIX platforms but unstable on Win32 platorms.

<?php
$LineLength = 50;

$uploadfile = 'PATH TO IMAGE';
$uploadfile_name = 'PATH TO IMAGE';

$fd = fopen ($uploadfile, "r");
$size = filesize ($uploadfile);
$c = substr ("$uploadfile_name", strrpos ($uploadfile_name, ".") + 1 );
$cont = fread ($fd, $size);
fclose ($fd);
$encimg = base64_encode ($cont);
$imgcode = chunk_split ("$encimg", $LineLength, "'.'"); 
print $imgcode;
?>

Sorry, but your problem does not imply a bug in PHP itself.  For a
list of more appropriate places to ask for help using PHP, please
visit http://www.php.net/support.php as this bug system is not the
appropriate forum for asking support questions. 

Thank you for your interest in PHP.

On windows you need to open binary files with 'rb' not 'r'. 
If you still experience the problem even after changing the fopen flags try using the latest CVS snapshot.

I intend to use this script to store mutiple image files in a database or in one compressed file. If anyone knows of a better way to accomplish this task, I would appriciate it if you could tell me.

p.s. I am aware that using base64_encode will not result in a compressed file.

The problem is fixed by using 'rb'(read binary) instead of 'r'(read) inside of the fopen flag on Win32 platforms.

Just another 3-bit mistake by the script writer.
