HTML Form with method="POST" and enctype="multipart/form-data" is not working for passing data to the web server.

Dear Friends These is my sample code test1.html <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"> <HTML> <HEAD> <TITLE> New Document </TITLE> <META NAME="Generator" CONTENT="EditPlus"> <META NAME="Author" CONTENT=""> <META NAME="Keywords" CONTENT=""> <META NAME="Description" CONTENT=""> </HEAD> <BODY> <form name="frm1" method="POST" action="test1.php3" enctype="multipart/form-data"> <input type="text" name=text1 value=""> <input type=file name=file1> <input type=submit name=btnsubmit value="Submit"> </form> </BODY> </HTML> test1.php3 <html> <head><title>Test Page</title></head> <body> <form> <? echo $text1; echo $file1; echo $file1_name; copy($file1,"d:\prashant\$file1"); ?> </form> </body> </html> I am Facing the problem that if i use enctype="multipart/form-data" in form object then i am unable to retrieve the values passed from .html form. So if i am using a File Upload control in my form without the enctype attribute,then i get a warning message Unable to open '' for reading: No such file or directory in /home/httpd/html/fai/test1.php3 on line 12 i.e My HTML Form with Post Method and enctype attribute="multipart/form-data" is not working for passing data to the web server. The problem can be solved without the enctype attribute in the Form Tag where i can send the Data to the Web Server and the values getting retrieved in another Php Page, but what about if i have to upload a File using the File Upload control <input type=file name=file1> in my HTML Form. It Fails in this case where i get the warning message. Can somebody help me in this regard as soon as possible ??? Thanks, Prashant S Akerkar
