$_FILES - path info get passed

[wmcelwee]

I have a form with some required fields and some file submission fields as well. I do some form validation after submission and if they miss a field that is required I want to fill in the fields that they did fill out to save them some time. Is there any way to fill in the file inputs or do they have to browse for them again? From what I can tell, the path of the file doesn't get passed with the form, but I just wanted to confirm that.

I guess I could use Javascript to validate the required fields before submission, but ugh... javascript :glare:

No; for security reasons the file field cannot be filled in with a default value or set programmatically.
