I have a form, all my fields have a script that allows to remember the datas that have been entered in case the forms fail to be submitted.

example

<input type="text" name="title" value="<?php if(isset($_POST["submit"])){echo $_POST["title"];}?>">

I have a input type="file" in my form as well ... is there any way to do the same to the selected file in case the form fails? having a way to remember the selected file...?

No, since that would be a security issue and can't remember the image that was chosen in the person's computer/folder. At best, use a ternary operator with a default value. – Funk Forty Niner Nov 30 '17 at 02:23
all of the duplicates this was closed with, basically explains what I said in comments. My answer was just much shorter. – Funk Forty Niner Nov 30 '17 at 02:27

@Fred-ii- yeah your 100% right.. I added a Django one to also point out the issue is language agnostic. – Lawrence Cherone Nov 30 '17 at 02:28
