Question about "Browse" field for web form...

[pdbuddy]

Hi, I'm relatively new to web design and I recently created a website using an HTML template that I got from http://www.classythemes.com and I made a web form using http://www.forms4free.com. The web form works, but I need to include one of those "Browse" input fields so that someone can upload their resume through the web form. I don't know how to do it. Can someone please help me with this? Thanks

It seems that the code the site generates using their site to process the form. And it sounds like you need something processed on your server (to write the upload file).

You won't be able to use HTML but a server side language - one of the codes found in the Web development zones. Chances are you might be on a server that supports PHP? I would check first with the hosting company you are using to see what language(s) they will support and then check the Web development zones for some information

Ditto.
By the way, those "browse" fields are called "file inputs".
They don't actually upload the files. The functionality behind those "file inputs" requires quite complex programming. If you used http://www.forms4free.com to create a form, I'd say you're in way too deep and you should consider getting somebody else to do this for you...
