Hi I have a website where people can upload content using a form.
My problem now is that I want the users to choose if the content is a file or embed file from YouTube etc. When users select YouTube it has to use a predefined file on the server.

So in short terms:

How can I add a radiobutton to my upload form, where the users can sellect Embed and then when they hit submit the form uses a predefined image/file on the server?

You can create a radio buttons in your HTML form like this:

<input type="radio" name="upload_type" value="embed" />
<input type="radio" name="upload_type" value="upload" />

You may want to refer to http://www.w3schools.com/html/html_forms.asp

You will then need to use some form of server side scripting (e.g. PHP) to process the form, and perform the desired actions (e.g. using your predefined image etc.).

Hmm... yea, I knew about the radio buttons, But it's the "code" for using a predefined file I was looking for :/

Sorry - I don't understand the question properly (apologies if I'm just missing something obvious!).

What exactly do you mean by "the form uses a predefined image/file on the server?"

I.e. where/how is this predefined image/file used.

I mean. People sellect if they want to upload a image or if they want to add a embed file. Meaning the the form/script adds a image I have selected

i would know how to implement it but, i would think this could be done possible with something like a php if/else ie

PHP Code:

<php
 
if (($value==embed))
{
embed src="predefinedfileurl";
}
 
elseif (($value==upload))
{
file src="urserver/file";
}
 
?> 


Hopefully you get what i mean most of its probally wrong but u know hopefully it helps you (or someone else to help you) do what you after.
