this from the w3c site works just fine. I am really interested in finding a way to upload photos by web url. much like the option that photobucket gives you. i can't seem to get it to work without using input="file" in the form. is there a simple way to get this to work?
<html>
<body>
<form action="upload_file.php" method="post"
enctype="multipart/form-data">
<label for="file">Filename:</label>
<input type="file" name="file" id="file" />
<br />
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit" />
</form>
</body>
</html>

upload_file.php
<?php
if (($_FILES["file"]["type"] == "image/gif")
¦¦ ($_FILES["file"]["type"] == "image/jpeg")
¦¦ ($_FILES["file"]["type"] == "image/pjpeg")
&& ($_FILES["file"]["size"] < 300000))
{
if ($_FILES["file"]["error"] > 0)
{
echo "Return Code: " . $_FILES["file"]["error"] . "<br />";
}
else
{
echo "Upload: " . $_FILES["file"]["name"] . "<br />";
echo "Type: " . $_FILES["file"]["type"] . "<br />";
echo "Size: " . ($_FILES["file"]["size"] / 1024) . " Kb<br />";
echo "Temp file: " . $_FILES["file"]["tmp_name"] . "<br />";
if (file_exists("upload/" . $_FILES["file"]["name"]))
{
echo $_FILES["file"]["name"] . " already exists. ";
}
else
{
move_uploaded_file($_FILES["file"]["tmp_name"],
"upload/" . $_FILES["file"]["name"]);
echo "Stored in: " . "upload/" . $_FILES["file"]["name"];
}
}
}
else
{
echo "Invalid file";
}
?>

Hi Joel, Thanks for the warm welcoming. I am very certain that this is possible. here is an example. The form is located at the bottom of the page. <snip> here is the html for the form
<div id="fromurl">
<input type="text" name="img_url" value="http://" MAXLENGTH=512><br>
<font size="1">Enter the picture url, example: <i>http://example.com/picture.jpg</i></font>
<br>
</div>

photobucket also has a similar feature. There must be some server side command to make this work. Ideally what I want to happen is for the image to be transfered from a remote url, and placed into an uploaded pictures folder on my webserver. then to have the local image url referenced in my database.

You could do what you're asking using curl to do a request to the inputted url. If it returns an image you're in business, if not ..... Try reading [php.net...] for examples
