file upload to database

[seidel]

I am building an application that will require users to upload images as part of a document that will be inserted into a database and then ouputed into html for viewing.

My question is how do I build an interface for browsing file structure to find the approriate image file for upload?

Is this within the realm of php or should I use some type of java applett to manage this?

thanks

it's built into browsers
<input type="file">

ok so how do you browse your file structure?

There are a couple articles on the site and a search in the forum would yield a huge amount of results.

test it. place the tag <INPUT NAME="image" TYPE="file"> in a form and the browser will place a browse button that allows the user to specify the file to upload. after they've selected the file to upload, the filename will appear in a text box by the browse button.
