Edit Forms and Image Upload

[eluser]Unknown[/eluser]
I initially have a form with a couple of text inputs, a textarea, and an image upload. I can save all this to a database and upload the image.

When I edit the form I populate the text inputs and textarea with the values from the database, but I have to choose the image again.

Is there a way to set the value for the uploaded image so I don't have to choose the image again?

Nope. If you set the value of the upload input the file will just be uploaded again. Best to check if an uploaded file exists or not.

How would I check if the image is uploaded? How could I make it use the current value, so that when I hit save, the image value isn't empty?

hi if you are using form validation for your form you can use this validation for your upload filed validation
