file upload as part of another form

[empnorton]

I wish to include a file upload form as part of another form, and have it upload the file when the other fields are written to the db.

In other words, I want the form set something like this:

<text field> name
<text field> age
<text field> FILE UPLOAD <browse button>
<radio buttons> display image
<submit form>

When I use my standard file upload script, it automatically puts a 'browse' and 'upload' button next to my form. I want the remove the 'upload' button.

Does this make sense, and can it be done?

sorry, it doesn't really make sense.

an upload form is a special HTML form.
Actually has nothing to do with PHP, since it's all HTML.

this will upload a file:

<form ENCTYPE="multipart/form-data" action="thanks.php" method=post>
     <p>File to Upload : 
     <input name="NewFile" type="file">
     </p>
     <input type=submit VALUE="Upload">
     </p>
</form>

If you are using the form element <input type=file>, you cannot remove the browse button. Also, you cannot load a file that doesn't come from an <input type=file> field. If you could, it would be a terrible security hole. Someone could easily write a page to load any file from your system to their server when you visited their page.
