Hi, and welcome to TSDN.

I am not entirly sure what you are trying to do. Please try to explain this a bit better so we can try to assist you.

I am, however, going to take an educated guess, and say that you are trying to get some information about some file?

If so you could try something like this:

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

 
<?php ?>

<form enctype="multipart/form-data"  action="?" method="POST">

  <input type="file" name="fr" id="fr"> <br><br>

  <input type="submit" name="submit" value="Read" >

</form>
 
<?php

  if(isset($_POST['submit']))

  {

    echo "<pre>";

    print_r($_FILES);

    echo "</pre>";

  }

?>
