 <p>To get the list of uploaded file names from the <strong>server</strong>, requires server-side code:</p> <p><em>UploadHandler.php</em> is used to upload files to a directory/s on your server.</p> <p>If you've downloaded the plug-in archive and extracted it to your server, the files will be stored in php/files by default. (Ensure that the php/files directory has server write permissions.) see: <a href="https://github.com/blueimp/jQuery-File-Upload/wiki/Setup" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/blueimp/jQuery-File-Upload/wiki/Setup</a></p> <p><em>UploadHandler.php</em> is just that, an upload handler. It does not provide access to server files without a connection to the server.</p> <p>JavaScript cannot access files on the <strong>server</strong>, so you'll need a php script to do so. (Although JavaScript could possibly keep track of everything uploaded, renamed, and deleted.)</p> <p>You can modify <em>UploadHandler.php</em> to connect to your database, and write the file paths (and any other data) to a files table during upload. Then you can access your files via standard SQL queries:</p> <h2>Modify <em>UploadHandler.php</em>:</h2> <ol> <li>Add your database connection parameters</li> <li>Write an SQL query function</li> <li>Write a second function to perform your query</li> <li>Call the second function</li> </ol> <p>see: <a href="https://github.com/blueimp/jQuery-File-Upload/wiki/Working-with-databases" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/blueimp/jQuery-File-Upload/wiki/Working-with-databases</a></p>
