You don't "copy" files from a user's PC through the web. The web doesn't allow the "copying" of files. What you can do, if the user's browser supports it, is support file UPLOADS through the form. PHP has robust support for this and I've used it just fine for a whole bunch of different stuff. Takes a little time to get the hang of it, but once you understand what's going on, it's a snap.
To begin, check out: http://www.php.net/manual/en/features.file-upload.php Then do some searches on the web for "php file upload" .. I'm sure all the big sites (devshed, zend, phpbuilder) have plenty of articles on PHP file uploads. If you'd like some sample code, just ask. -Mike At 01:07 PM 10/1/2001 +0200, you wrote: >I want to copy a file from a users PC (via a form) to a specific folder on the >webserver and store the file name in the Database. >I have tried to use the copy($string, $path) function but I keep getting errors. > >Does anyone know a simplat solution for this?
