[PHP] Re: saving the client's file upload location
On the form processing page, register the variable on a session. And put session_start(); on the form's page, so the value is remembered and echo()ed on the field. -- Julio Nobrega. 2B||!BB - That's the question.

i have people upload a file from their computer but if my form comes back with an error then they have to go select their file location again. is there any way of saving that location so they don't have to pick it again??? upload file [ c:/temp/picture.jpg ] Not really. As a measure of security, you aren't told the original path on their hard drive of the file, so you can't use that tiny scrap of knowledge to try and hack their system. As a matter of privacy, you're told nothing more about their system than you need to know. You *CAN* have them hit the back button and click upload again, and that works in most browsers, if you aren't expiring the pages. -- WARNING [EMAIL PROTECTED] address is an endangered species -- Use [EMAIL PROTECTED] Wanna help me out?
