Answer 1

An uploaded file does not have a "full path", other than temporary location where PHP has stored it during the upload process.

For the security of users, the browser sends only a filename of where it came from on the remote computer; for your security, you should not blindly use this (security rule of thumb: anything sent by the user is suspect and could be used to attack your system). You might want to filter it through a whitelist (eg remove anything other than letters and numbers) and use it as a "friendly" upload name, or you might want to ignore it completely. The browser also sends a file type (eg image/jpeg ); again, this should not be trusted - the only way to know the type of a file is to use a command that looks at the content and validates it.

As far as PHP is concerned, what has been uploaded is a chunk of binary data; it saves this to a randomly named file, which is the path you have echoed there. The PHP manual has an introduction to how this works .

With that path you can do one of two things:

• validate with is_uploaded_file() , and read the data with file_get_contents() or similar
• use move_uploaded_file() to put it in a permanent location of your choice
