Browse button for local files

[Lauj]

Is there a way to have a text field that has a browse button next to it that will allow me to browse my local files and select them to be inserted into the text field?

Any help is greatly appreciated!

<input type="file" name="myfile">

Never mind, I found the file type. That works; however, is there a way to truncate the location path and only keep the file name?

Thanks!

Thank you very much. How to do trim or break the location path from the file in PHP so I can store the location path and file name to the proper field in the database? For example, I have this:

C:\MyFiles\MyWork\Website\PDF_Files\All_goes_well.pdf

I want to store the PDF_Files\ into the Location field in my MySQL database and the All_goes_well.pdf into the File Name field. How do I break this location path from the file type text field from the client side once the user hit the submit button?

Look at the area where it talks about "basename".
