RE: [PHP] input type=file

so then maybe, if I understand it correctly (which may or may not be true) I could read the contents or a directory and populate a dropdown list...?

Then when the user clicks a filename, place that into the input in the first window and close the secondary window. However, this would require JavaScript and a full recursive directory browser script in PHP. I have something similiar to this in a content manager script I've written, but it doesn't check other directories. It picks an image from an /ImageLibrary/ directory, allowing the user to preview an image, upload new images, delete images, rename images, but most importantly pick a filename. Then it populates a field in the content manager screen for saving to a database. Joseph E. Sheble a.k.a.
