We currently using hyperlink method to connect to a selected thumbnail displayed on other websites. Is the objective to copy images and save as a pdf or gif format?

I'm working on the issue to be able upload or to search for image path. I'm getting close and need some assistance. This code puts the image name into the Product Image field but it won't put the full path just the name of the image. You can see the full path in the box next to the browse button. Any suggestions? This is in the file views/products/form.php

field($model, 'ProductImage')->textInput(['maxlength' => true, 'id'=>"filename"])?>

 <script>
    function setfilename(val)
   {
     var fileName = val.substr(val.lastIndexOf("\\")+1, val.length);
    document.getElementById("filename").value = document.getElementById("file").files[0].name;
   }
 </script>
     <form>
      File: <input type="file" id="file" name="file" onchange="setfilename(this.value);"/>
      
     </form>

Hi Anguess , thanks for looking into it. I couldn't tell who you are by your username, so I'm wondering who you might be from the course? Moreover, Yii2 provide such functionality out of the box and here is an example on how to do it. Please let me know if you have any questions and when you push, I'll review it. thanks again.
