Ever since I upgraded my gallery to the latest version of Coppermine (1.4.12) whenever I click "Batch add files", a download window comes up for me to download searchnew.php.

Here's a screen shot for you to see:

Please help!

Possible file corruption. Re-upload the file from a fresh package.

I did that 3 times already...

Are you using the proper FTP-mode? What FTP app are you using? Try renaming the file from "searchnew.php" to "foobar.php" on the server (using your FTP app), then go to your browser and try accessing the renamed file. Post a link to your gallery as well.

@lolainslacks  If you don't mind me saying so (with the utmost sincerity) this might be a great opportunity for you to make use of an offline development server ("localhost") before doing upgrades (or even mods/hacks) to your live website.  Webservers like Apache, language interpreters like PHP, and the MySQL dbase are free.  If you're looking for the quickest way to set all these up in one lump try looking up LAMP (linux users) or WAMP (windows users) on Google.  Not sure if that's your cup of tea but I thought it might seed some ideas for the future.  It will certainly help you perform fault isolation as to whether or not this particular upgrade went south as a result of the FTP/upload process as GauGau suggests or if there's an inherent problem with something else.
