Re: file path and folder selection .......

there is no good solution for this problem. but imagine, if a remote script could scan your local drive! but there ae some workarounds with your browser: if you want your user to upload a file from his drive, you can use <input type="file"> as start. there are some php-script that handle those uploads. for the download try playing with the http header. the user can decide, where to save your file. there are also scripts around. hope this helps. ciao SVEN "Stephen" <stephen.edmonds5@btinternet.com> schrieb im Newsbeitrag news:005b01c32137$befbd980$9f00a8c0@q... > PHP is server side only.
