This script is the server side, can someone point me to the HTML script / client side please?
The PHP script has no access to my local Windows drive C:\

html is not a programing language
you can not do it with html
you can use c# , python ,java ,... to do this

For the html it's just a simple form to enable the user choose a file to upload through a submit/upload button
