Hi,

I am trying to make a very simple uploader on a website. The website will be public when published but the upload tool won't be so i have used the PHP file upload tutorial from http://www.tizag.com/phpT/fileupload.php[^] to make this uploader.

The tutorial does show me how to make files upload to the server in a folder called 'uploads' but how do i get the uploaded files from the 'uploads' folder appear on a page on the website automatically? (e.g. page name: Uploads.html)

Thanks to anyone who responds in advance

Hamza

If the upload control is being used within an iframe on the upload.html page then you would need to trigger a JavaScript method on that page to refresh after the upload has occurred. You can use the parent object from the iframe to obtain a reference to the upload.html page.

The upload control is written in a different file called 'uploader.php'. It's only the interface that is shown on 'upload.html' but i want the uploaded file to be shown on 'uploads.html'. So how would go about doing this. This is the first time i'm doing such a project so i am very confused.
