upload

[Shelly]

I want to give the user a "Browse" button to locate the file on his system
that he wants to upload to the server. Where is a good example of how to do
this?

You need to use javascript. PHP runs on the server and doesn't have
access to the user's file system (thank goodness!).

HTML tag:
<input type="file" name="userfile" >
that's all you need.

No, I want to have a "Browse" button on the web page that the user clicks
and uses to locate the file he wants. He would then click "OK" and I would
have the full file path for "userfile" in order to use the upload function
in php.

Do you have an example anywhere and can I mix and match with php files?

Please tell me - how can you list files on the user's computer via PHP?
That would be a HUGE security risk!

If you want Browse....

<input type="file" name="Browse">

But the PHPfreaks tutorial will show you how to handle the file upload.

As I have just learned, it is HTML and not PHP. An HTML input type of
"files" brings up the browse button. This is run on the user's machine, not
the server, so only the user sees his own files. The submit button simply
activates sending only the ONE chosen file (fully specified), and since this
is the one he wants to send anyway, who cares?

That's true. However, I thought you wanted a separate "browse" button
to be able to select files - not the one with the "files" input.
