uploading known files

[Andrew Fenyo]

Hi all,

I have a situation where users need to upload a set of 5 files. The
file names are fixed, but the local source directory is not. (The
destination folder varies between individuals.)

I cannot see the way to adapt the standard file uploading code to deal
with this, so suggestions would be appreciated.

PHP can't do this, since the selection is client-side.

Neither is there anything in HTML or even Javascript that would do it.

You'd need to run something else on the client side to do it (which would be
offtopic here) such as Java or Flash.

In addition to what Andy said about the code - you can get rid of all of
your non-php code. All you're doing is redirecting to another page; you
don't need any output here.
