[RESOLVED] Placing Content in TextField

obrienkev

Hi all,

Why isn't the data from the database field displayed here...

<input type="file" name="image" id="image" value="<?php echo $row['image'] ?>" />

when it is here...

<input type="textfield" name="email" id="email" value="<?php echo $row['email'] ?>" />

Is it because it is type="file"? If so how can I fix it?

Thanks.

Is this an image you loaded into sql and now trying to display the image onto the page ?

No just the text. Image name is inserted into the database.

Security. File upload fields cannot have preset values or values altered programmatically by Javascript, because it was discovered several years ago that it allowed people to grab files off users' machines without their permission. This was simpler than requiring an extra confirmation step from the user as in http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/appendix/notes.html#h-B.10.1
