    copied!<p>Make a basic web page, only purpose of the web page is to be able to upload background image and display locally when going to that address in the browser.</p> <p>For example, say I have this:</p> <pre><code>&lt;html&gt; &lt;head&gt; &lt;/head&gt; &lt;body&gt; &lt;input type="hidden" name="MAX_FILE_SIZE" value="500" /&gt; &lt;input type="file" /&gt; &lt;/body&gt; &lt;/html&gt; </code></pre> <p>Now, what next? Here is what I want to do:</p> <p>I click the upload button. It uploads to my own computer at the following address:</p> <pre><code>file://C:\dummyfolder\images\ </code></pre> <p>See what I'm getting at? I do real web design online but this is different. I got this idea and now I wanna do it. Please help!</p> <p>I can think of someone who did this before. Google does it on their site. When you go to google.com you can choose a background image to display on Google. It stores the image locally on your computer. I want to do that, just on a web page that is stored locally, and the web page is stored locally at the url:</p> <pre><code>file://C:\dummyfolder\dummypage.html </code></pre> <p>It could be PHP too, it doesn't matter. It will never be accessed anywhere except locally within my own computer so it does not have to be too complicated.</p> <p>I want the littlest code possible. Just an upload link and then it stores the image on my computer and automatically displays as a background on that html page whenever I visit it. If I upload another image it changes to the new image that is also stored locally or maybe it could replace the old image? Dunno.</p> <p>Thanks for your help!</p>
