I am trying to write a form to upload files to the server.

Running 4.1.0 on W2K Pro, IIS , and php.recommended.ini 

The first form gets the local (client) file name i.e. c:\dir1\dir2\file1.txt this is displayed to the user in the <input type = file name = filename ... > text box.

The php script that the form posts to uses $_FILES["filename"]["name"]. This returns : file1.txt 

The local path to the file has been lost.

I have not seen any documentation that implies that this is intentional or that there is another element in the array that has the whole C:\... file name.

As a consequence the file copy fails as the php script cannot find the file.

Thanks
