Hi, I'm using Apache 1.3 (win98) with PHP 3 for educational purposes. At the moment I'd like to upload a file from a form and store it on the "server". Just for checking I upload a file and then list the available info on it, but it won't work. I intend to upload a file from C:\path\filename from a form-file-upload-box in HTML. I name it "userfile" for later accessing by $username in the recieving formhandler. Below is the code for the file upload box: <INPUT TYPE="file" name="userfile"> In my formhandler (.php3) I list the available information about the uploaded file: Name: <? echo($userfile) ?><BR> Original name: <? echo($userfile_name) ?><BR> Size: <? echo($userfile_size) ?><BR> Type: <? echo($userfile_type) ?> This prints: Name: \\php2 Original name: icq-info.txt Size: 39 Type: text/plain Warning: Unable to open '\\php2' for reading: No such file or directory in c:\program\apache... I obviously managed to pass the info about $userfile_name, _size and _type, but what about the complete filepath? What is happening? Why does "echo($userfile)" print "\\php2"? Uffe
