To all,
The following is a file upload question using PHP.

I am able to upload a file to my server with the following script.  (see
below)

It's in two parts - the first is a html form and the second is the php
script which takes the variable $img1_name.

However, I'd like to check if, in fact, the file was uploaded to the server.

The only way I can check this is to copy and paste the pathname that I
upoloaded in the browser's window like:

c:/Program Files/Apache Group/Apache/htdocs/reservoirphoto.jpg

When I do that the photo does load - however it loads in a paint program I
use like PaintShopPro - not as a file within the browser.

The question is this...in the textbook I'm reading (Julie Meloni - PHP Fast
and Easy - page 174), it says that:

"(I can) use the File / Open Page / menu item in your web browser to
navigate through your filesystem and find the file you uploaded."

The screenshot in the book has the .jpg file photo *within* the browser
screen - not by itself in a paint program.

Can anybody assist me in this?

Thanking all in advance.
Tony Ritter
