[code=php]$rfile = basename( $_FILES['file']['name']) ;
$target_path = "files/";
$target_path = $target_path . basename( $_FILES['file']['name']);
if(move_uploaded_file($_FILES['file']['tmp_name'], $target_path)) {
echo "upload success";}
else{
echo "error";} [/code]


How to be in update form

@svidgenJun 16.2011 — You can't preset the client's source path. What you CAN do, if the file has already been uploaded, is replace the file input with placeholder text to indicate that the file was uploaded on the previous form submission.
