Uploading a file without 'file' as input type


Hi,
I was wondering whether there is a way to upload a file to the server -
without using the <input type='file'...> bit. I'd just like to display a
'Save' button and then save the document to the server.

thanks,
john

that you could use as an alternative.

Hi there. I've spent the weekend getting ever more frustrated, trying to get an upload file function working on a website. The site is hosted by a company called oneandone. They're using PHP 4.2. 3, not in safe mode. I think that the basic problem is the set-up for the temp folder, but I don't have access to the .ini settings. I'm pretty sure it's possible, because I've got MyPHPAdmin running, and

Good afternoon. The entire task that I'm trying to achieve is to allow a user to browse and upload multiple files simultaneously, hiding the Browse button of <input> tags of type="file" and replacing it with a button of my own background color and text. The file paths I'd like displayed in a textarea and then the files uploaded at once.

Hi, I am a complete novice but would liket to have a PHP script which will upload a file which is pre-defined, without the need for the user to 'Browse' for a file path. For example, the pre-defined file would be "C:\temp\test.txt", and the script will already know this value without the user telling it. I tried filling the textbox with a file path value, but it doesn't work with the input type "file", only as a "textbox". So I am now

You may be wondering why you would want to put your files “into” the database, rather than just onto the file-system. Well, most of the time, you wouldn’t. In situations where your PHP application needs to store entire files, the preferred method is to save the file onto the server’s file-system, and store the physical location of the file in your database. This is generally considered to be the easiest and fastest way to store files. ...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
