Passing an Uploaded File From Page to Page

[PHPRookie]

Is it possible to pass an uploaded file from page to page before e-mailing it.

I started a session and registered the variable name on the first page where the user browses for the filename.

I would like to e-mail the uploaded file from the second page after I have given the user the opportunity to review what he/she entered on the first page.

You can. But i wouldnt want to try.
One main reason would be slow page loading.

I really don't mind if it slows my page down. It is for internal use only.

I thought I could just start a session and register a variable. I guess this does not allow me to pass the file from page to page.

If this does not work, how do I do it?

[planetsim]

well maybe make the file upload the last bit.

You are killing me man!

How do I pass the file from one page to another?

Here is my code.

page1.php

<?php
session_start();
session_register('attachfile','attachfile_name','attachfile_type','useraddress');
echo
"
<form action='page2.php' method='post' name='proceed' enctype='multipart/form-data'>
<h1>Enter the e-mail address we should send the file to:</h2>
<h2><input type='text' name='useraddress' size='30' maxlength='50' value='$username' border='0' ></h1>
<h1>Hit the browse button to find the file you want to attach to the e-mail!
<input type='file' name='attachfile' size='16' border='0'>
<input type='submit' name='proceed' border='0' value='confirmation page'>
</form>
";
?>

page2.php

<?php
session_start();
session_register('attachfile','attachfile_name','attachfile_type','useraddress');
echo
"
Hit the submit button if you want $attachfile sent to $useraddress!
<form action='page3.php' method='post' name='submit' enctype=' multipart/form-data'>

				<input type='submit' name='submit' border='0' value='submit'>
				</form>";

?>

page3.php

<?php
session_start();
session_register('attachfile','attachfile_name','attachfile_type','useraddress');

		function sendmsg
					(
						$to,
						$subject, 
						$text, 
						$from, 
						$file, 
						$type, 
						$name
					)
		{ 

$content = fread(fopen($file,"r"),filesize($file));
$content = chunk_split(base64_encode($content));
$uid = strtoupper(md5(uniqid(time())));

$header = "From: $from\nReply-To: $from\n";
$header .= "MIME-Version: 1.0\n";
$header .= "Content-Type: multipart/mixed; boundary=$uid\n";

$header .= "--$uid\n";
$header .= "Content-Type: text/plain\n";
$header .= "Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit\n\n";
$header .= "$text\n";

$header .= "--$uid\n";
$header .= "Content-Type: $type; name=\"$name\"\n";

$header .= "Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64\n";
$header .= "Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=\"$name\"\n\n";
$header .= "$content\n";

$header .= "--$uid--";

mail($to, $subject, "", $header);

return true;
}
echo "An e-mail was sent to $useraddress!<br>";
echo "If you ask to print dollarsignfile, you get: $file<br>";
echo "boo<br>";
echo "If you ask to print dollarsignattachfile, you get: $attachfile";

		sendmsg	($useraddress,
		"Periodical - Current Issue",
		"Greetings from the folks at Periodical!",
		"[e-mail]",
		$attachfile,
		$attachfile_type,
		$attachfile_name);
