eranwein Posted March 21, 2006 Share Posted March 21, 2006 i need to check if an uploaded file exists. i'm using file_exists($filename). as i understand, the $filename should be the path and name of the uploaded file.$_FILES['uploadedFile']['name'] returns only the name but not the path. so how do i do it?
