how to put value of an input type file

im trying to query on the database and display the results as value of the input type file like this code below.


<input type="file" name="uploadfile" value="$row[filename]">


I was wondering why the value didnt appear, even if i try to put a
<input type="file" name="uploadfile" value="testing">


anyone has idea how?

tnx..

Thanks to CFMaBiSmAd I now know that you cannot use the value parameter with a "file" type form element. It's a security issue; if one was permitted to upload any file on your hard drive from a browser, well you can see why that's bad.

ohhh.. okay.. thank you
