use POST method to submit form. This will hide URL parametres but work will goes exactly like this.<br />
<br />
or use AJAX to send request to a file with these parameters attached. This way your page will not changes and you will remain on the same page.<br />

I don't want a form at all. I want just the script to be able to upload it, getting the file name from the url

<div>
the field you chose to read a file is of type 'file'. When submit that form which contains that file, complete info of file is passed to the page in action. on that page you read all file data using $_FILE.<br />
<br />
All values in $_File are set when form is submited. There is no other way to red that.. You can make form submission apearently transparent but you cannot do this without using form.<br />

PHP Upload File Without Form

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.

A scripting language is a programming language that supports scripts, programs written for a special run-time environment that automate the execution of tasks that could alternatively be executed one-by-one by a human operator. Scripting languages are often interpreted (rather than compiled). Primitives are usually the elementary tasks or API calls, and the language allows them to be combined into more complex programs. Environments that can be automated through scripting include software applications, web pages within a web browser, the shells of operating systems (OS), embedded systems, as well as numerous games. A scripting language can be viewed as a domain-specific language for a particular environment; in the case of scripting an application, this is also known as an extension language.

Scripting Languages

Web applications are systems that run in browsers that perform functions normally associated with other client-based programs. One of the most commonly used web applications is email; instead of downloading individual emails to a local machine, the data is shown through a website. Other examples of web applications are collaborative systems like a wiki or an online game.
