Geoff,
Remember - the name attribute is just something for you to identify the
data when it's passed. It does not have to be an actual filename - it
could be "xyz" for that matter. But it HAS to be changed, because '.'
is not a valid character in a PHP variable.
Whatever you have here is the identifier in the $_POST or $_GET array,
i.e. $_POST['xyz'].
The value in the field is where you want "filename.txt", and that should
not be changed.
