What are the limitations of PHP in opening dialog boxes for file selection?

PHP does not have built-in functionality to open dialog boxes for file selection on the client-side directly. To overcome this limitation, you can use JavaScript to trigger dialog boxes for file selection and then handle the selected file in PHP on the server-side. 

// PHP code to handle the selected file after using JavaScript to open a dialog box for file selection
if(isset($_FILES['file'])){
    $file_name = $_FILES['file']['name'];
    $file_tmp = $_FILES['file']['tmp_name'];
    
    // Handle the selected file here
}
