Yes! &nbsp;I should have tried that. &nbsp;Got caught up in using code from PHP.net site and trying to make that work instead of just using the FILES array. &nbsp;Ocurred to me earlier but not sure why I didn't try it.<br />
<br />
I think I figured out what was happening with basename function. &nbsp;I was uploading from my PC using Windows but then the basename function was being executed on the server which is Linus Apache and the basename function wouldn't work with backslashes.<br />
<br />
Thanks for the response buddy.

Using PHP to receive an upload file from a file input form element.<br />
<br />
Want to get the filename by using the basename function but the function doesn't work when the path starts with the drive letter (for example, c:\documents\test.txt), it can't get me the test.txt information.<br />
<br />
I would try to use the explode function to create an array but the directory system on Macs and PCs are different. &nbsp;Can someone tell me how to get the file name off a mac or PC. &nbsp;Is it possible to use basename?

PHP is a widely-used server-side scripting language especially suited for web development, powering tens of millions of sites from Facebook to personal WordPress blogs. PHP is often paired with the MySQL relational database, but includes support for most other mainstream databases. By utilizing different Server APIs, PHP can work on many different web servers as a server-side scripting language.
