pass argument to html upload form
I am using an html form and a php upload script to upload files.

HTML form
Code:
<table width="500" border="0" align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="1" bgcolor="#CCCCCC">
<tr>
<form action="upload_ac.php" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data" name="form1" id="form1">
<td>
<table width="100%" border="0" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="1" bgcolor="#FFFFFF">
<tr>
<td><strong>Single File Upload </strong></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Select file
<input name="ufile" type="file" id="ufile" size="50" /></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td align="center"><input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Upload" /></td>
</tr>
</table>
</td>
</form>
</tr>
</table>

PHP upload script:
PHP Code:
<?php
//set where you want to store files
//in this example we keep file in folder upload
//$HTTP_POST_FILES['ufile']['name']; = upload file name
//for example upload file name cartoon.gif . $path will be upload/cartoon.gif
$path= "upload/".$HTTP_POST_FILES['ufile']['name'];
if($ufile !=none)
{
if(copy($HTTP_POST_FILES['ufile']['tmp_name'], $path))
{
echo "Successful<BR/>";

//$HTTP_POST_FILES['ufile']['name'] = file name
//$HTTP_POST_FILES['ufile']['size'] = file size
//$HTTP_POST_FILES['ufile']['type'] = type of file
echo "File Name :".$HTTP_POST_FILES['ufile']['name']."<BR/>";
echo "File Size :".$HTTP_POST_FILES['ufile']['size']."<BR/>";
echo "File Type :".$HTTP_POST_FILES['ufile']['type']."<BR/>";
echo "<img src=\"$path\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\">";
}
else
{
echo "Error";
}
}
?>
I can upload from browser fine and the uploaded files will be found in the folder upload in the web root.

I also can uplaod from localhost, give file path, for eg /usr/src/myimage.jpg in the "Select file" area and press "Upload" button from shell itself. The file gets uploaded fine to upload directory.
Code:
lynx http://localhost/upload.html

What I need is to pass the file path to html form as argument, so that I dont need to type the path after taking lynx. If there is any other method other than lynx, please help me on that also.

You should try to use 'curl'. Try something like this:
Code:
curl -F ufile=@/my/file/in/some/directory/file.txt  http://localhost/upload_ac.php
