If I have a user input a file in an html form for uploading, is there any way that I can pull the name of the file that was uploaded out some how? For example, I have this code for my form: <form ENCTYPE="multipart/form-data" action="empfunc.phtml" method="post"> Upload a file: <BR>NOTE: Max file size is <?print($my_max_file_size / 1024);?>KB <br><INPUT NAME="the_file" TYPE="file" SIZE="35"><br> <input type="hidden" name="upload" value="true"> <input type="submit" Value="Update"> </form> When the form is processed, the file turns into a variable called $the_file, if I print out the variable's contents I get a bunch of alphanumeric characters that I assume are how php is encoding the file. However, I want to somehow get the filename of the file, is there a way to do this without having the person who uploads their file specifically type in the file name in another field? Thanks for any help, Zara
