Hi,
<tip type="Getting File Names from <input type="file"> fields with PHP"
author="Rob.Smith">
I made neat script that will/should help with file uploading and the <input
type="file"> button. I wanted the file name so I did this:
(complete file path is set via method="GET" in my form and the file fields
name is "Info")
$Info = $_GET["Info"];
$Info = split("\\\\",$Info);
echo $Info[count($Info)-1]; // get the file name
and the output was in fact:
file.htm
original path:
C:\Documents and Settings\...\My Documents\file.htm
The nice thing about this is that it will grab the file name regardless of
how long the file path is.
</tip>
