It depends on your application, but you usually choose yourself the location where to move the uploaded file. Usually uploaded file are stored in /tmp temporally : http://uk.php.net/manual/en/function.move-uploaded-file.php Your application move itself the file (hence know the path) and you insert the path in your DB. > > so that's meant i dont try to hard code file path in my program , > > This is not actually mysql question ...........sorry for asking such out of > list questions. > > > Thanx in advance , > Kane. > > Pooly <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > 2005/8/20, Kane Wilson : > > > hi Friends, > > > > I have a WAP portal which is running based on mysql database.
