When a file upload fails, not because of a problem with the upload itself, is there anyway of assigning the value captured by <input name="upldFile" type="file"> when the form is redisplayed? The failure may not be due to a problem with the file being uploaded, but because the user failed to complete a keywords field or some other bit of wanted information. Is it possible to assign form[ upldFile ] = "C:\somepath\somefile" or form[ upldFile ] = $_FILES['userfile']['name'] The script which does the validation is the same one which contains the upload form. I suspect we're completely out of luck - apart from validating with JavaScript. Regards - Miles
