I wonder… Uploading a file with php is fairly simple, using a html form: ```auto HTML Form

``` ```php ``` The problem: I want the upload to be triggered from AS, without using the form, thus, making PHP prompt the “browse…” window directly… This is possible with javascript, but also means brower-hell. ```auto
``` Can it be triggered directly from PHP? $apr=‘Cheers’; echo $apr;
