How do i view the image i selected through an upload form.

So in other words, when an image is selected in a file form, <input type="file">, the image could be displayed some where on the page?

Save the file locally (by accessing the $_FILES array) and then include an image reference to the newly-saved file. Be sure that you've selected the encoding type for file uploads.

If you did it with Javascript, you'd have to use AJAX. There's no built-in functionality for uploads within Javascript.

If you've got ASP knowledge and a server that can support it, check out ASPUpload by Persits Software. It's $150 (I think) but well worth every penny just for its image handling capabilities alone; it can detect what type of image was uploaded (or if one wasn't uploaded at all); the width, the height, and the file size. It's a cool little DLL and I use it quite a bit.

I've actually recently researched this issue and have not found one good answer... Turns out that you can write some JavaScript that can display the image in the browser to the client from their local machine (img src="file:///c:\my documents\image.jpg" />. Sounds good, right? Would be great if it workded, but Javascript should not access the clients local file system as it's a security issue. This method only works on ie and all other browsers block this request.

The best solution is to upload the image to a server (asp, asp.net, php), let the client preview the image from your server and let them make changes, accept or delete from your server...

You won't be able to display the image until it will be uploaded to server (via php, asp and so on)
