hello group,

in upload form on action a php script is called. How to return from
this script to the calling page?
Or maybe it could be done in such a way that all the code resides in
one file, action script is a php function somehow initiated?

either leave the 'action' out all together, or make it point to
$_SERVER('PHP_SELF')

put a hidden input in the form named something like 'inputSubmitted' (or
just name the submit button in the same way) and check at the beginning of
the page script - take the desired actions you want.

if ($_REQUEST['inputSubmitted'])
{
// check to see if anything was actually submitted
// check to see if upload was 'safe' (free of viruses and strip [or
comment out] anything that php may mistakenly execute)
// check to see that file attributes meet business/internal rules (file
size, nomanclature, etc.)
// show messages/warnings/errors related to the transaction
// relocate uploaded 'safe' file(s) (either to different path or store in
db)
}

// this is where your current page code beings

hth

yes, thank you, it works - putting all into single file.
