Need Help In Php Mysqli Html Form

Question

I want to make a form in which when I upload my text file it will appear in the textarea box (the content of the txt csv file to be printed in the textarea box). I have done a web search but didn't get any idea.

The new JS File API can help you.

If you dont need the file uploaded on your serveur, then take a look here . You'll just need to adapt it a little to make it fill the value of your input box (maybe you should use a textarea instead of a simple input here).

If you need upload:

• How to handle file upload: http://www.w3schools.com/php/php_file_upload.asp
• How to read file content and put it on a string: http://php.net/manual/fr/function.file-get-contents.php

If I was you, I would make two scripts. The first one handle upload and redirect to the second one, wich show a page (or the same form as the previous) with the text field updated.
