Uploading problem

Anon

First of all, I am sorry that my english is short.

I want to upload a file to a server.
usually we use
<?
<input type=file name=image .....>
?>

But I want to change the name of file in process. that is,
I tried to use like this
(1)<input type=file name=image value=c:\name.jpg>

(2)
<script language=javascript>
function cc(){
document.rform.image.value="c:\name.jpg";
alert(document.rform.image.value);
}
</script>
..
<input type=file name=image>
<input type=button name=xx onclick=cc()>
..
BUT it did not work.

I really want to fix the name of file which would be uploaded.

So you want to be able to decide what file the user is going to upload?

Anon

Actually the file which I want to upload has allways same file name.
But in local window system, content is changed everytime even though the name is same.

Don't think about next precess!
Next precess is prepared.
Just what I want is to change the upload file name by myself..
Not Select by "Browser" button.

Not 100% sure.. but maybe you should start by calling the field something other then 'image'. since it might be screwing up javascript. try myImage or something?

if you want the file name changed to whatever you want when the user submits a file, just do this..

rename("$oldfile", "$newfile");

I don't think you can do this at all. Think of the huge security violation this is.

If you can set the name of the file yourself, you can also submit the form yourself (form.submit()😉, so you could steal any file you want.

The user has to hit the Browse button and select a file.
