2 edits | file uploadultimately what I am looking for is when I take a screenshot of an area, for the file to be auto uploaded to an image hosting site or my domain; any software out there that can do that?
else I need my own solution:
when you upload a file, say to upload.php like one found here: »www.webcheatsheet.com/php/file_upload.php
one needs to open up a dialog and select a file from C drive...
is there any way to include the PATH of file on C drive right into the GET of the URL?
details:
When I take a screen shot with Gadwin PrintScreen it is displayed in firefox as
file:///C:/_S/ScreenShot_041.jpg
or so
I wish I could upload it easily - I could just make a reference to a custom "search engine" which is actually an upload script and thus just by prefixing the URL in the address bar with something like "upload"
resulting in
"upload file:///C:/_S/ScreenShot_041.jpg"
what would be activated is something like
myDomain.com/upload.php&uploaded_fil=file:///C:/_S/ScreenShot_041.jpg
and file would be uploaded right away...
hmm I can't even pre populate type=file with a value=* must be a security thing?
<input value="C:\_S\ScreenShot_030.jpg" name="uploaded_file" type="file" />
security thing? correct?
so it can't really be done? |

Midland, ON | Yes, I believe you can not auto fill in a file input type for security reasons. The user has to select the file, otherwise you could auto upload sensitive information about their computer.
You may want to look at Snag-it You can upload your screen shots via FTP. |

Using Flash/Java/ActiveX you can do pretty much anything. Google something like "flash upload" and you'll get tons of ideas. |

You could also save all your screen shots in a folder and have a script to regularly scan for new files, when a new file is detected, it gets uploaded and then moved/deleted/renamed/etc. |

New York | said by PToN:You could also save all your screen shots in a folder and have a script to regularly scan for new files, when a new file is detected, it gets uploaded and then moved/deleted/renamed/etc. like a local batch or Perl file or something that runs all the time in the background |
