Heya, rinkudhimar.

How are you going to get a file's contents without uploading it? Is the file going to be uploaded to the browser using a separate application (similarly to how MovableType does it)?

I have found a way myself
<?php
$source = "c:/demo.txt";
$destination = "c:/upload/try.txt";

if(copy($source, $destination)) {
echo "File copied successfully.";
} else {
echo "The specified file could not be copied. Please try again.";
}
?>
