i have a form where the user can choose a file to be executed by browsing their hard drive. the code i'm using to alloe them to do this is <INPUT name=sourcebutton TYPE="file" class="browse" value="Browse">. i need the path of the file in order to execute the file. any help is greatly appreciated. i'm relativly new to PHP and have never used the file chooser before.
thanx in advance

Are you looking to upload the file and then run it or run a file that is on their computer on your site such as a word find that uses a text doc from a person's comp.

first of all there is no "value" attribute for <input type="file">. if you add <input type="file"> you will notice there's a button next to the textbox with "browse" value, use that to browse for the file
