is i possible to bypass the checking of uploaded file via is_uploaded_file() ?

Question

i need to upload file without using a form. i need to do this to make automated upload if a user click a button...

i have create $_FILES['thefile']['name'] and $_FILES['thefile']['tmp'] but it still not working. is it possible to do uploading without a form ?

btw, i use wordpress. and wp use is_uploaded_file() to check whether the file a copy is an uploaded file or not.

Answer 1

For security reasons this isn't allowed. You could embbed a java applet or flash to upload a file.

Answer 2

Array $_FILES fills only where we use form with input element of "file" type.
