$HTTP_POST_FILES --> Local Dir?

[brooky]

Hi,

I'm using the $HTTP_POST_FILES code for image uploads.

If the upload fails for what ever reason can you retrieve the original directory?

e.g. c:\path\to\my\image.jpg

I know you can get the server temp path, file name etc...

But how can I retrieve the original path?

Cheers,

Brooky

don't think so - the file upload is handled client side by the browser - it reads the file in the path and what's POSTed to the server is the file data, not the path to the file

Thought as much. Thanks for your help. 🙂

Its been a long day. 🙂

just thinking - maybe you could set the ONCHANGE event of the file upload field to update a hidden text field with the fieldname.value value of the upload - and so have a text field with the path name automatically inserted?

Cool I will try that.
