   I try to copy a data file from a client computer to my webserver computer using the OE "Upload File(s)" template. When trying to use the name of the data source file in my php script I get the "unknown index" error. Checking out shows that no filename is POSTed to my php script. When I set the type of input to "text" instead of "file" the string is POSTed to my php script. Have I forgotten something?

	Hi, It's not how file uploading works, check PHP documentation and/or tutorials on the Web concerning $_FILES

	Hello Dmit, that was the necessary hint, it works perfect I don't know what brought me to using $_POST instead of $_FILES Willy
