Using PUT method for upload

I'm using Apache 1.3.20 and PHP 4.1.1 on Windows NT 4 to run a website that users can upload files to. I am currently using an HTML form with an <INPUT type="FILE" ...> field. However, for auditing purposes, I need to restrict where users are allowed to upload FROM as well as TO. The HTML form offers a browse button that can roam around the entire filesystem and I can see no way of restricting this. I have put together a PHP script that enables me to offer a restricted browse function which then returns the name of the selected file to the calling program. My question is can I use PHP to upload the file, without using the HTML form method? The PHP manual suggest PUT as an alternative upload method, but I can't see how to implement it. The manual has an example PUT request which looks like this: PUT /path/filename.html HTTP/1.1 But where and how do I run this command, and where does it get the name of the file I want to upload (assuming /path/filename.html is the target location on the webserver). Can anyone enlighten me please? In general I have found the PHP manual excellent, but I can't seem to follow this section.
