checking file submit box

[pouncer]

<input type="hidden" name="MAX_FILE_SIZE" value="1000000" />
<input name="imageupload" type="file" size="70">

 

How do I actually check if the user actualled clicked the browse button and selected a file?

because, before i hit the submit button i want to check if the user actually select a file to upload

Do you mean before the form is actually submitted?

 

If you want to do it before the form is submitted then you will more then likely have to use javascript to disable the rest of the form inputs until the above mentioned input has a value.

hmmm, yea i wanted to check it before i hit the submit. hmm, sounds a bit complex to me.

Search for javascript form functions or manipulations on google and you will find a ton of sites that can give you a run down of how to do what you want.

 

They aren't that complicated most of the time.

isnt there any way to just echo the directory name then, in the file browse box, when i click the submit button?
