Re: Automatic file upload...

No, there is no way. This is a security restriction - if it would be possible, any web page could steal files from you. Tom Woody wrote:

I am trying to put together a script so that I can upload files to a php script, with just a URL and can't seem to get my brain around it. For example, The browser would have a url like: http://example.com/upload/fileupload.php?filename=C:\filename.txt Is there a way to do this and I'm just missing it, or will the client have to browse and choose the filename with a <form></form> type of construct? I have tried some google searches on <input> syntax, as well as php file uploads to no success. The simple code I have been working with is (obviously nothing has been found for automatically submitting a form): <?php if (is_uploaded_file($_FILES['toProcess']['tmp_name'])) { //successfully uploaded move_uploaded_file($_FILES['toProcess']['tmp_name'],

                      "/var/www/html/filename.txt");

echo "File successfully uploaded...thank you<br>\n"; } else { echo "Upload Problem<br>\n"; } ?> <html> <body> <form enctype="multipart/form-data" action="<? $PHP_SELF; ?>"

     method="POST">

Filename: <input type="file" name="toProcess"

                value="file:///home/user/uploadtest.txt">

<input type="submit"> </form> </body> </html>
