Johnny2 Posted February 21, 2013 Report Share Posted February 21, 2013 I'm just trying to get a default value to show up in a form field (type=file) using the example below. Anyone know what I'm missing? I know the variable $imagefile is being populated correctly because I've tested it. Is it just something I'm missing in the html input tag at the bottom? // above in the php script: if (isset($_GET['id'])) { $targetID = $_GET['id']; $sql = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM products WHERE id='$targetID' LIMIT 1"); } while($row = mysql_fetch_array($sql)){ $imagefile = 'images_folder/' . $targetID . '.jpg'; } <!-- below in an html form: --> <input type="file" name="fileField" id="fileField" value="<?php echo $imagefile; ?>"/> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
falkencreative Posted February 22, 2013 Report Share Posted February 22, 2013 Unfortunately, it's not possible to set a default value on file fields. See http://bytes.com/topic/php/answers/906666-how-set-default-value-input-type-file-field-html, http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2665058/set-default-value-for-a-input-file-form and similar.
