I am working on a PHP project, in which I need to store a path of an image when user select an image from open dialog box from a specified directory. How can I do this? I don’t know how to open the Open/Browse dialog box and how to get that path in PHP/javascript. And I want that my other form data don’t flush when I open the Open/Browse Dialog.(I want to put image file’s path that user has selected in my database, so I can reduce my database size.)
You can put a form element by using
<input type="file">If you only want the path without uploading the file. You can use javascript.
If you post the data to the server file’s info will be available to PHP but also the file will be sent to server as well.
Check the Javascript File Api examples here if you want more ..
