I suggest you read http://www.php.net/manual/en/features.file-upload.php
The GET method shouldn't work (though it may be possible). In all likelihood your browser is just sending the local filename as a string and not attempting to upload the file at all. You need to use the Array $_FILES['Filename'] to access the various bits of data about the file. Try doing print_r($_FILES); in upload.php to see if it's there. I would guess that a host that does not allow the POST method would not allow file uploads at all.

But my PHP script gives the error: Warning: fopen(C:\local path to\filename): failed to open stream: No such file or directory Note: I cannot use the POST method in HTML is because my webhost supports only GET method. Also I do not want to use FTP. My observations: The $_FILES does not get populated also. Somebody please help.
