uploaded file name

[john]

Hi

Here's what I want:
After uploading the file, I would like to preview the filename and the
original path uploaded from the client side and not what is now
uploaded to the server..

for example, C:\mydocuments\myfiles\myfile.doc
How can I do this?

Filename yes, file _path_, not that I'm aware of.

You can retrieve the 'myfile.doc' part using $_FILES['filename']['name']
(assuming your form file field was named 'filename').

The local filepath is immaterial IMO (whereas the filename is useful)..
could you give a reason for wanting the local _path_ too? (I'm just
curious is all =) ).

Ian
