file upload

[bunny1]

I have a form with a file field and i want the value of the field to be set to what is selected from the database to be displayed.

It only works when i change the type="text".
The variable gives the location of the file on the server.
The reason i want to it to be type="file" rather than "text" is i want them to be able to change the file if they want by clicking on "browse".

Here's the code i have

<input name="uploadedfile" type="file" id="uploadedfile" value=<?php echo $path; ?>>

Why not do something like:


<?

echo 'Old File: '.$path.'';
echo '<input name="uploadedfile" type="file" id="uploadedfile">';

?>

is there no way of having the old file name in the file field box?

I wouldnt think so, because that file field is when searching you system, not everyone would have that path anyways.
