How to set default file in ?

Question

This is for select-file by user. But I want to render the default selected file on page load.

<input type="file" id="file-upload" accept="application/pdf" value="Upload/<?php echo $_GET['id9']; ?>" />

Like this: `value="\user\bhatti\allpasswords.dat"` – mplungjan Jul 05 '19 at 11:24 — mplungjan, Jul 05 '19 at 11:24

I don't think it is possible to set a default value for a input file :(

Loosely interpreting the answer seems to contain the essential parts of the linked answer: "not possible" ... – Teemu Jul 05 '19 at 11:57
