hi you don't have to bother your self of such things. html does it all for you. All you have to do is manage the uploaded file which is put as a temporary file on the server temporary folder. Here's some tip: temporary file in your server: $_FILES["file"]["tmp_name"] name of your file (the uploaded): $_FILES["file"]["name"] now use move_uploaded_file function to where ever location you want to put your file on your server. http://ph.php.net/manual/en/function.move-uploaded-file.php cheers!
