I know my error is at the php file.....its not a the html file....i believe the value "saved" is not passed on to the php file or may be the value is passed on but the php file does not grab it....

Heya, bimeldip.

Please try to avoid posting so much code; you're more likely to get a response if you only post relevant snippets.

What do you want your code to do? Give an example.
What is your code doing that you don't want it to do? Give an example.
What is your code *not* doing that it is supposed to? Give an example.

Hi,
so sorry ...i did not realize that it wasn't allowed.I will keep in mind the next time.
My problem is that i want to develop a php class that has these functions:

1)Upload function
-users can browse for an xml file and click a button and upload it into a folder.

2)Recognize function
-from the file there is a function that will recognize the data type of the content of the file eg:
..
<FirstName>To m</FirstName>
So it would recognize that Tom is a character so it will display the data type.

3)Import Function
-this function would be recognize the the fields in the xml file, and create a table based on the fields and import the data into the table in the mysql database.

so far i have only managed to learn how to upload the file into a folder.
But the problem is that i have hard code the xml file in my codes for it to display the content of the xml file.
eg:
..
if (!($fp=@fopen(" upload/contactsbare.xm l", "r"))) die ("Couldn't open XML.");
..
So i want to make it dynamic enough to pick any xml file that users will choose and is able to display it to the user.
How do i do this?

Please do help...
