Yeah, this is a little tricky for a person new to FUDforum.

Almost always, php files should (or at least can) be uploaded in ascii mode, so people get used to doing that. The install.php file is mostly binary, but people don't expect that in a file with a .php extension.

On top of that, some ftp client software (like Fetch, for Mac OS X, which I use) has a pretty nice automatic feature where it "decides" which mode to use. It works great nearly all the time, but it also assumes that any .php file should be uploaded as ascii. So with Fetch, the user has to override the automatic function (which isn't hard, it's just rare that you have to do it).

I wonder if the install.php program could have a line in the beginning that could "autodetect" when run if it was uploaded in ascii mode -- and if so give a clear explanation to the user?
