File select on server (repeated)

[Shelly]

(repeated because I forget to add comp.lang.php to the list)

I have an admin interface. I want the admin to be able to select an image
file on the server and attach it to an email to be sent out to a user. If I
use type="file", it puts up a browse on the user's machine. Is there a
comparable thing for use on the server? I could always place these images
into a special directory and then simply have them listed in a select list.
However, i was wondering if this more general thing is available. Of
course, I would ONLY use it in an admin situation.

There is no built in browser control (that I know of) that can do this.
Perhaps if you placed your image in a images dir, then used PHP readdir
function to display them as radio (or check box) options that the user
could select to send the email with...just a thought.

Thanks. As for your suggestion, that is what I said above that I could do.
