Jessica Posted December 12, 2006 Share Posted December 12, 2006 If the user enters the string of where the file is on their computer:C:\Documents and Settings\user\My Documents\image.jpgHow can I upload it to the server without using a form like I would normally?What I am trying to achieve is an ajax image upload form, like the one on TheDailyPlate.com(see: http://www.thedailyplate.com/food-nutrition/food/generic/mashed-potatoesclick on Contribute a photo of this item! - Don't actually do it, but that is what I mean. It uploads the image without refreshing the page.)Thanks!

Jessica Posted December 12, 2006 Author Share Posted December 12, 2006 That is what I am trying to do, but when I do the ajax call, the php file says the $_FILES[] is empty. I am using mootools, I posted on their forum but no response yet.How would you do it?
