You could use something like $fileloc = "subdir/".$_FILES["addpic"]["name"]; -----Original Message----- From: Bastien Koert [mailto:bastien_k@xxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Wednesday, February 09, 2005 9:44 PM To: ioannes@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx; php-db@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: RE: Reg Exp to change c:\dir\dir\pic.jpg to dir/pic.jpg - to uploadimage path Whats the reason to keep the image path from the host pc? The server will dump the uploaded file into a temp area fro which you can either move it to a permanent dir or load it into a db. The only path that you really need to worry about the one on the server, which you can handle by 1. leaving it fixed and coding it into your scripts 2. make it somewhat variable (if you were storing images by username or something like that) which you can handle by storing in the db. Once the image is uploaded, there is no use for the user's path. If he changes OSs its gone and of no value...
