File Upload Using Query String in PHP
-
Hello, I want to have such a specific PHP script, which I will use only for a special purpose, not for hacking or anything bad or illegal.. For example I have "photo1.jpg" and "photo2.jpg" files on my desktop. If I somehow, pass the names of these files in query string like www.mywebsite.com/index.php?pic1=photo1.jpg&photo2.jpg Could I upload these photos to my server automatically? Is there such a way in PHP? If so please explain to me a little.. I want this script because my webpage needs to upload certain pictures from PC and show them to user.. Any help is appreciated.. Thanks..

What happens if files with those names do not exist? If you wish to know how to upload files in PHP then see https://www.google.com/search?q=file+upload+php[^].
Thanks for your reply.. The files will certainly exist, I know that otherwise the script will be meaningless. I know how to upload using a form but I want to do it automatically using query string.

No, there's no way for a page to automatically upload specific files from the client to the server. If there was, it would be a major security hole. You can't even use script to set the value of an
<input type="file" />, since that would have the same security implications. There are ways to make the upload easier for the user - for example, http://www.plupload.com/[^] - but nothing that will let you circumvent the need for the user to select the files to upload.
