Please help me cause I'm stucked in this

[zandreius]

I am writing a WEB based PHP aplication with JavaScript (and HTML of course) which store data in a Microsoft SQL Server database on a Win 2000 server and I need to access a image file on the CLIENT computer (a image scanned by the user maybe) and store it into the database. My problem is how to get the content of the image file (I repeat: on the client computer) in a variable or something like this. A solution in any of the 3 laguages or maybe in Java would be OK. Please, please, please help!!!

You cant do it without the user uploading the scipt directly. Why? Cause the poeple that "invented" internet browsing and stuff, new that they did not want your hardrives visable to a remote host. Imagine how terrible it would be if any host could get or take anything from your hardrive. There finally was an exception when cookies came out (Remote hosts are allowed to store cookies on 1 directory set by OS). So the answer is no you need to upload this thing to the host.
Hope that Helps!
