I am working a application mostly for my personal use which I have written in PHP. &nbsp; with an HTML interface. &nbsp; I have a separate PHP file which I am using to read a file and load data into a database. &nbsp;However this is something I would like to do on a regular basis and currently I am editing the PHP file and entering the full path to the file I want to upload. &nbsp;<br />
<br />
I would like to be able to browse and select a file on the local (client) C drive, read it in and load it into a database table on my webserver. &nbsp; From a page on my webserver.<br />
<br />
What is the easiest way to go about this. &nbsp; <br />
<br />
I am running an Apache web-server on OpenSUSE. &nbsp; My current pages are all built using javascript and PHP.

Local file access from Web Page

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.

Web Applications

Web development includes all aspects of presenting content on intranets and the Internet, including delivery development, protocols, languages and standards, server software, browser clients, databases and multimedia generation.

Web Development

Programming includes both the specifics of the language you’re using, like Visual Basic, .NET, Java and others, but also the best practices in user experience and interfaces and the management of projects, version control and development. Other programming topics are related to web and cloud development and system and hardware programming.
