Any tips? This isn't an answer to your question, but I just wanted to warn you: If you place something like a path in a hidden field, or as part of a select option, you have no guarantee that a user won't change it before submitting the form. Most browsers won't let them, but there are plenty of other ways they can (for instance, debugging web proxies that allow editing of raw form submissions, and so on). So it's VERY IMPORTANT that you don't rely on this path without doing further checks to make sure it's really valid. Otherwise people could try to read or write any file on your system. They probably won't get away with writing directly, but if they manage to read your password file or something, they soon will be writing. miguel
