Yeah… it could then just give him the link locations… The file is saved as a tmp name… Just give it a real name and it’ll be sved in the directory the php script is located 🙂 ---

Well… It’s been a while since I used uploading with PHP… What playamarz is trying to say is that if the user uploaded the abc.txt file to the server, for example, then PHP saves that file into the temporary folder on the server… When the uploading is done, you need to move that file in the temporary folder into the real place where the file should be located… Something like this, I guess… =) ---
