i need a solution with a different file upload

cata2002

Hi,

I have a problem.
I have a server on Suse Linux+PHP+Apache+MySQL.
I have a client that access a site from the server.On that client is installed a webcam that when the client want can take a picture with it.
To register a new member on the site this must be done by a special person that must take a picture of the new client(I need this for private club site and authentification of the clients).
So when the webcam take a snapshot (but not in every 5 secs or more, but when i press a special button on the webcam) the image is stored with the name imgxxxxx.jpg, where the xxxxx is a number.
With a VBScript i determinet whitch is the latest picrure from the directory where the pictures are stored but i can't set a input file field with that value.I need this because the pictures that are taked to the clients must be uploaded to the server and stored there.

So any solutions?
I only need a solution on how to make an upload to the server of an image whitch name i don't know and is determined throught VBScript when the php page is loaded by the browser.

Thanks

If your VBscript figures out the filename, you can use a simple HTTP POST to load it.

I can't use file upload becase i find out the name of the file only when the page is loaded by the browser and i can't set the file input type with a value.
I can use fsockopen to fake a file upload?

Does your PHP page load an ActiveX control to figure out the filename?

No,

I use a VBScript to find out the name of the file.
i use CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")

acck ! sorry, I meant VBscript. If your VBscript knows the filename, why not have it do an HTTP post with the file to a PHHP script on the server ?

I can't set a value to a input file field from VBScript or Javascript so i can't make an upload.
I don't want the client (the girl at the reception) to know that i make an upload, i want to make this transparent to her.

I am not a VBscripter but it seems as though you can set the value of a form field with it. I know you can do it with JS though.
