[SOLVED] Getting the file path

Recommended Posts

HI There,

 

I am using the following HTML snippet to slect a file for upload ....

 

<input class = "default" name="myfile" type="file" />

 

When I submit the form however, the file path (string) that was used to populate the text field simply disappears and I am unable to populate the DB.

 

How can I capture it ?

 

regards,

 

Steven M

Add this to your <form> tag:

 

enctype="multipart/form-data"

 

But what you have to realize is that this wont populate your database, rather it will just upload the file onto your server. If you want to add the path name to your database you will have write a script for that as well.
