PHP Forms

[berbbrown]

Hi All

I have a form which is used for registration and it enables a user to upload an image. If the user selects an image and enter the all data in the right places and clicks the submit button, all is well.

If the user forgets to enter some data in a compulsory field after before or after selecting the image and then clicks the submit button, I validate the fact that there is data missing and return an error.

My problem is that it forgets the original image which was initially selected. If the user forgets to select the image again and submits no image is uploaded.

My Question is, "is it possible to redisplay the filename initially selected as part of the fileupload HTML field, if not, how can I solve my problem?"

Many thanks

Stick that filename into some space, and then use that value in the HTML "value=" statement in the input field.

IE, if you used the session array, have your handler script stick that info in a session var, and have the form say

<input type=file name=userfile value="<?php echo $_SESSION['imagefilename']; ?>">

Well, I'm thinking it'd work ...

An alternative might be to check for the existence of the file, and return an error there as well ??

HTH,
