PHP and file uploads

[Anon]

Hi !
I´m writing a web application where users can encode video files using the RealProducer ActiveX-Control. When the video file has been encoded, the encoded file is of course on the local hard disk of the user. Now he can decide if he likes the encoded version. If he likes it, he can upload it to the server and store the entry in the database. The problem is:
as far as I know due to security reasons the user first has to choose the encoded file before he can upload it (e.g. I have to use <input type="file>). It would be more clever if he could just say "save to database" and the file would be automatically uploaded to the server.
Is there any way in PHP where I can upload the encoded file automatically ?
Thanx, Jörgen

Use this code:
<?php
if($fileOfEncode) {
copy($fileOfEncode, "/path/to/file/".$fileOfEncode);
}
?>
And then use this file tag:
<input type=file name="fileOfEncode">
