How do you write this Javascript in PHP?

[Don]

How do I code the following Javascript to run in a PHP script?

-------------------------
<script type="text/javascript" language="javas cript">
//
function passfile1path()
{
var path = document.proces sPictures.userf ile1.value;
document.proces sPictures.file1 path.value = path;
}
</script>

<form...>
<input type=file name="userfile1 " onfocus="passfi le1path();" size=90 maxlength=20000 00
accept="image/jpeg" tabindex=1>

<input type=hidden name=file1path>
</form>
-------------------------
Just when I think I'm getting to know a little bit about PHP, I run into another stumbling block.
Thanks for your help.

You can't do that in PHP. Javascript is a client based programming language
and your code example is responding to events triggered in the client. PHP
runs on the server.

I'm a little confused why you need to assign the value of the "userfile1"
file box to a hidden variable anyway, as the $_FILE array in PHP will be
populated with everything you need.

Refer to the manual at http://www.php.net/features.file-upload for more
information about how to handle file uploads.

You don't. That javascript performs a client side operation. PHP only
works on the server side.

could echo it out, if just wanted it in the code
