As a measure of security, you aren't told the original path on their hard drive of the file, so you can't use that tiny scrap of knowledge to try and hack their system. As a matter of privacy, you're told nothing more about their system than you need to know. You *CAN* have them hit the back button and click "upload" again, and that works in most browsers, if you aren't expiring the pages. -- WARNING richard@zend.com address is an endangered species -- Use ceo@l-i-e.com Wanna help me out?
