$_files

[________]

Hi there,
I'm bulding a picture upload script with validation of the form field.
If any of the fields are wrong the user are sendt back to the form with a comment on what fields that are worng, and the old values in the correctly set fields are set back in the form. But I got a problem with the FILE field... how do I get the value fof that field... not $_FILES['file']['name'] but the path to the file on the users computer... eg. C:\mypictures\picture.jpg
Is that possible?

Thanks!

do a print_r() on $_FILES['file'] and you'll see.

I think you will find most browsers ignore any value in the file tag, as a 'security' feature.

What?!?! so if I enter a value in the FILE field most browsers would actually blank that value?
Do you know which browsers that apply to?
Thanks!
