    <p>I have a form with two input fields, one <code>type=file</code> and other <code>type=text</code>.</p> <p>I would like to:</p> <ol> <li>select a file with <code>type=file</code> field to be uploaded using php</li> <li>grab the <strong>file name</strong> of the file being uploaded</li> <li>insert the <code>upload dir/file_name</code> into the <code>type=text</code> field</li> </ol> <p>The file gets uploaded fine. The problem is i get the <code>file name</code> wrong, depends on the browser i'm using. </p> <ul> <li><strong>Firefox</strong> works fine and i get: <code>somepath/file_name.ext</code></li> <li><strong>IE(10)</strong> gets me full local file path: <code>somepath/C:\Users\User\Desktop\file_name.ext</code></li> <li><strong>Chrome</strong> gets all cute and returns: <code>somepath/C:\fakepath\file_name.ext</code></li> </ul> <p>How do i solve this? I need <strong>only</strong> the <code>file_name.ext</code>, like Firefox does it. Needless to say i need the file name detected and appropriate text field changed as the file is selected and before the form is submitted. </p> <p>The HTML part:</p> <pre><code>&lt;form enctype="multipart/form-data" action="" method="post"&gt; &lt;input name="data_up" id="data_up" type="file" /&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;input name="data" id="data" type="text" value="&lt;?php if(isset($_POST['submit'])) { echo $_POST['data']; } ?&gt;" /&gt; &lt;button name="submit" type="submit"&gt;Submit&lt;/button&gt; &lt;/form&gt; </code></pre> <p>The PHP part (simplified, needs security added):</p> <pre><code>if (isset($_POST['submit'])) { if ($_FILES["data_up"]["error"] == 0) { move_uploaded_file($_FILES["data_up"]["tmp_name"], "somepath/".$_FILES["data_up"]["name"]); } } </code></pre> <p>The JS part:</p> <pre><code>&lt;script type="text/javascript"&gt; $(function() { $('#data_up').change(function () { var fileName = $(this).val(); $('#data').val('somepath/'+fileName); }); }); &lt;/script&gt; </code></pre>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
