How to echo target path into File box?

[dwex]

I have an edit page but whenever I click edit the pathname of the original file is not in the file box so everytime I hit the save button , it will be considered as no file so my previous image or file will be overwritten by "nothing".

To make the content of form fields persist between page requests, you must write the value you receive from a form submission into the value="..." attribute of the form field.

 

If you are referring to a type="file" input field, that field can only be set by the browser's file dialog box and cannot be made to persist between page requests.

Yeah I cannot understand what he's asking either...

 

dwex, would you mind providing us with the code that contains your problem and perhaps restate your question clearer?

<td><label for='images'> <b>File to upload:</b> </label></td>

<td><input type='file'  name = 'drama_image' '<?php echo $row['drama_image']; ?>'/></

              </tr>

 

<?php

$target_path = "images/";

$target_path = $target_path . basename( $_FILES['images']['name']);

 

if(move_uploaded_file($_FILES['images']['tmp_name'], $target_path)) {

  echo "The file ".  basename( $_FILES['images']['name']).

    " has been uploaded";

} else{

  echo $row['drama_image'];

}

 

    ?>

 

['drama_image'] is the name of the file

 

I wanna echo it out in the box of file upload so when I save , the default picture will still be there instead of being overwritten as the box does not have any value in it.

Make a checkbox, selected, in the edit page, and if they unclick the checkbox, they have to have a file to upload
