questions about uploading file

[detrox@gmail.com]

Hi, all

I have two questions about uploading files using php & html:
1. How can i add a `file type' in the pop window when i click
`browse' button of the `<input type=file>'.
2. How can i get the local path of the uploading file. btw, i know
there's a $_FILE['userfile']['name'], but it only give me the name not
the path.

thx very much~~.

You can use mime_content_ty pe to determine the type of the file by its
name.

Re: questions about uploading file

On question #2:

do a "print_r($_FILE );" in your script. This may give you the answer
your looking for ;)

Peter already answered your first question. As for the second one - you
can't. Such would be a huge security gap by exposing the user's file
structure.
