How to upload a certain file to server?

[yuan]

<?php
 $filename = "c:\\pic.jpg";

//how to check this file is exist here??

 $uploaddir = "./pic_folder/";
 if(!empty($filename_name)) {
   if(copy($filename,$uploaddir.$filename_name)) {
      echo "upload success";
   } else {
      echo "upload fail";
   }
 }
?>

I don't want to use enctype to post the filename to this php page, so got any way to upload?

A certain file? What, like the site visitor's /etc/passwd or registry?

[rickmans]

That is not possible (and that is a good thing too!). Would you like sites which fetch certain files from your HD without even asking you?

[yuan]

a certain file means that it is a certain path in user hdd like:

$filename = "C:\My Folder\upload.jpg";

rickmans, yeah i agree with you
but i was do an interface with Flash, i can using Flash get the upload path through javascript... and i'm stuck at here

coz i using html enctype to post here, i checked the $filename is not the path. It will display /tmp/phpgcoB23

so i hope anyone know how to do that

In the server's filesystem?

Or in the visitor's filesystem?

If you mean visitor's filesystem, then sorry, it cant be done, unless you write a script to crack into your user's machine.
