I'm not sure if that is possible. I think you have to click the browse button and select the file. I don't think you can set values with javascript to "file" inputs. That'd be a security hole if that would be possible.

I don't think you can set values with javascript to "file" inputs.

I don't want to do this.

I have the following file fields:

Code:

<input type="file" name="userFile[]" size="20">   <!-- Need to send data to parent page hidden field 1 -->
<input type=file name=userFile[] size=20>  <!-- Need to send data to parent page hidden field 2 -->

I need to extract the selected file names and send the file names to corespondent hidden field on parent page.

With only one value work:

Code:

self.opener.document.foo.attach1.value = document.filesform.UserFile1.value;

and

<input type="file" name="userFile1" size="20"  >

I have this HTML form:

Code:

<form name="filesform" action="files.php" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">

<table style="margin:1em 0 1em 0">
<tr valign="top" id="fileInput0"  >
<td><b>File 1:</b></td>
<td><input type="file" name="userFile[]" size="20" onkeypress="KeyPress()"  ></td>
</tr>
<tr valign="top" id="fileInput1"  >
<td><b>File 2:</b></td>
<td><input type=file name=userFile[] size=20 onkeypress="KeyPress()"  ></td>
</tr>
<tr valign="top" id="fileInput2"  >
<td><b>File 3:</b></td>

<td><input type=file name=userFile2 size=20 onkeypress="KeyPress()"  ></td>
</tr>
</table>

What I need to do to write each field value in Javascript. I have something like :

Code:

document.write(document.filesform.getElementsByTagName('input').value);

But JavaScript say is undefined. JavaScript need to get the selected file names and print :

file1.exe
file2.exe
file3.exe

why are you naming all the inputs the same? you could just give them all a different name, this makes it a little easier. that way you can place them in an array and then loop over them, just as you do with the attach fields.

Ok I a modify each input field for different name.
But exist a way to manage this different names with php ?

I need to use PHP and JavaScript on page.

Thanks !

just store all the names of the input fields in an array, or if they have a logical name, you might wonna browse over them using a for loop.
either this:

PHP Code:

$fields = array('field_name1', 'field_name2', 'etc...');

for($i=0; $i<sizeof($fields); $i++){

  //do something with the input

} 

or this:

PHP Code:

for($i=0; $i<$number_of_fields; $i++){

  $input = $_FILES['field'.$i];

  //do something with the input

} 

Hope this helps you,
