Is it possible to use PHP "POST" method to upload multiple files and automatically email them instead of them residing on the Server?

    Almost NO server will allow you to use POST in php to upload. You need a server to allow the upload() php function. Also site auto email of files is extremely dangerous to security, so most will not allow that either. Of course if you gave us some idea what you are trying to do (if you really know what you are trying to do) we might be able to advise you.

    Hi Fred,

    Thank you! Client needs to have file upload capabilities on the site. Instead of storing them on the Server ( I assume I'd need MySQL..and I'm not good at MySQL) I would rather "pass through" via POST the files via email to another inbox. If this makes any sense.

    Thanks again
