No, because you cannot specify (and auto-fill in) the value of a form's upload field (which is required to make use of the $_FILES post array). This is quite rightly a security feature, else people could script hidden form uploads of say /etc/passwd and so on. If its a text file you can express in XML, you can upload the data as text to the server with a POST request using the xmlhttp or MSXML.DomDocument.2 interfaces (or the equivalent in Mozilla) Cheers - Neil Smith.

Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Subject: file uploading Hi. Is there a way to auto upload some files to the server? It is about an intranet application. One pc uses some external programs for some procedures. The result is a text file wich is stored always in the same folder with the same name to the client pc. Is there a way php can auto-upload that file (when asked to do so) without having to submit a form filled by the user? I don't want to make that folder shared for security reason. Is that an html issue? Thanx in advnace Achilles
