Hi, and welcome to TSDN.

I am not entirly sure what you are trying to do. Please try to explain this a bit better so we can try to assist you.

I am, however, going to take an educated guess, and say that you are trying to get some information about some file?

If so you could try something like this:
[CODE=php]
<?php ?>
<form enctype="multip art/form-data" action="?" method="POST">
<input type="file" name="fr" id="fr"> <br><br>
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Read" >
</form>

<?php
if(isset($_POST['submit']))
{
echo "<pre>";
print_r($_FILES );
echo "</pre>";
}
?>
[/CODE]
