Okay Stumped on Uploading Local File

Greets, All: I'm trying: $fileext = strtolower(strrev(substr(trim(strrev($afile)),0,4))); $filetmstamp=date(".YmdHis"); $filetmp=tempnam( "", "Res_" ); $filetmp=str_replace("/tmp/", "A{Floppy}:\REAL_SECRET\\",$filetmp); $fileid=$filetmp.$filetmstamp.$fileext; $fix_their_local_file = str_replace("\\","\\\\",$afile); $fo=fopen($afile,"r"); $fr=fread($fo,1000000); $res=$fr; mysql_connect("localhost","dbuser","dbpasswd"); $rs = mysql_db_query("dbdbase","INSERT INTO dbtable (their_local_file, a_unique_file_id, resume_as_blob_data) VALUES ('$fix_their_local_file', '$file_id', '$afile')"); I'm getting: Warning: fopen("C:\TEMP\Hi there.doc","r") - No such file or directory in pages/my_php_script.php3 on line umpty_scrunch. File is submitted with input type=file name="afile". How do I get the server to apply the input file http post to the stream? TIA.
