    i want use the button to select the file from the linux server
    then select the file without the path only the file name then save the file name to mysql table of filed.

      Ok -

      So after your browser has uploaded the file (i'm guessing), you will want to get the filename of it, then save that filename to MySQL.

      Well - I'm not writing all the code for you - but here are some pointers.

      1, If you are uploading a file via a web browser, then the file exists for as long as your script is running. PHP then performs a clean up and your file is destroyed. To overcome this, you have to copy the file out of the temporary directory and (optionally) give it a name.

      2, To get the filename part of a complete path and filename string, use

      $strFilename = basename($strPath);

      $strFilename will then contain only the filename from your path, and all path information will be discarded (although it is still available from the $strPath variable).

      3, You need to have a MySQL table to put the filename into. You will probably want a primary key (especially if you allow duplicate filenames in your table), and a filename column (I assume the path is consistent for all files).

      4, Insert a row into your table i.e.

      $result = mysql_query('INSERT INTO files (filename) VALUES ("' . $strFilename . '")');

      or something like that anyhow.

      So - hope that helps you 🙂
