vb.org Archive - Error in Tar Archive

I've had this installed and running on my site for a long long time now with no complications. Today though, I wanted to install 2 new games and the latest update for the Arcade, I am currently running ibProArcade v2.6.3+ , using SMARTFTP that I had to re-download today and it is in AUTO mode with PASV checked. I've uploaded the two new games and I keep getting the following errors when trying to add them to my arcade through the control panel :

Warning: unpack() [function.unpack]: Invalid format type p in /arcade/functions/tar.php on line 750

Warning: fread() [function.fread]: Length parameter must be greater than 0 in /arcade/functions/tar.php on line 794

Error in TAR-Archive. Please upload again.

any help ??? Thanks

I'm even noticing errors in the .png images I've tried to upload today....

I've tried it with the server's FTP , with Smart FTP and with Cute FTP.

Any help???

For the other issues, you should post in the support forum, per instructions in the thread starter.

I've found the problem and it was because my server recently switched over to .php5 . I had to add an .htaccess file with the command line of :

AddHandler application/x-httpd-php4 .php

in it in order for it to handle adding new games under the php4 method. Is this going to be a bug fix in an upcoming version ?.
