Redisplaying upload field value

[Jankie]

I have a form that redisplays user input for checking before the final submission.
i got all values redisplayed except the selected file for upload.
While i can have something like this in other fields:

<INPUT type="text" name="First Name"  value="<?=$_POST['First_Name']?>" 
 

[Please use CODE tags when posting source code. Thanks! --pbmods]

I dont know how to do the same thing for the upload field:
<input name="MAX_FILE_SIZE" type="hidden" value="100000">
<input name="userFile" type="file"><br> 
<input name="submit" type="submit" value="Submit"> 
 

Thank you for your support

Yeah this line will print the text values you got from the POST method.
So, what do do you need to print from this.

[HTML]<input name="userFile" type="file">[/HTML]

is it contents of the file,or name of the file ? or something else?
and where you want to redisplay them.In a form field ?

I would recommend changing your form design. If a User were to provide an invalid first name, for instance, he shouldn't have to re-upload his file.

If the file he provided was invalid, then it wouldn't make sense to repopulate the file input anyway. And all browsers that I know of will save the User's last selection in the Open dialog when he clicks on the 'Browse...' button in a file input.
