> Id like to use the popup file system box(<input name="userfile" type="file" > />) to choose a file name , but I only want to upload the filename , not the > file. Can I do that? You're not supposed to have any access to the remote visitor's computer, and the path to the file being uploaded could contain sensitive information (ie. like username of windows user). There are ways to get the information, even to read information on disk without the use of a file upload form. But they are/will be considered like security threats and are/will be closed down. IMO, whatever way you find to get this information is meant 1) not to be portable accross different browsers and 2) to stop working eventually. (Of course unless you ask the user to explicitly type the path in a text input) What do you need this for? -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
