RE: Forms again - 5/12/2003 19:41:39   
Hi, so I want to use this code now. http://codewalkers.com/seecode/192.html It all seems fine. I think I can do it now after learning a little bit using cutenews. One question, when I insert this html into my page, in the preview I' m getting this garbage all around the form button:

" 0) print " Your file(s) has been uploaded.
" ; print "
" ; for($i=0;$i<$numoffile;$i++) { print "
" ; } print " " ; print "
" ; ?>

any idea why?

your code ^ compared to the code from the link...

if (isset($j)&&$j>0) print " Your file(s) has been uploaded.<br>" ; 
  print " <form method=' post'  enctype=' multipart/form-data' >" ; 
  for($i=0;$i<$numoffile;$i++) { 
    print " <input type=' file'  name=' myfiles[]'  size=' 30' ><br>" ; 
  } 
  print " <input type=' submit'  name=' action'  value=' Upload' >" ; 
  print " </form>" ; 
?>

Can you do me a favor? Insert this code into a blank page, look at it in the preview pane. Is that garbage coming up next to the button? Is it because I' . viewing it not in a browser? Thanks

Hi again, I' m at it again. I still have the junk, went to the server and changed permissions. Do I have to change permissions for every folder in the root? For example, if its /home/intered/public_html_documents do I have to change permissions for them all? I did but it still isnt working. I' m getting this " Method Not Allowed
The requested method POST is not allowed for the URL /testform.htm."

In the directions for the code, it says " 2. Make sure that directory is not under your web visitor directory." Is the web visitor directory the public_html directory? If so, where should Iput it and where shoudl I put the page that the form code is in? i think that this is my problem right now.

This is saying that you don' t have permission to " POST" or write to the file. Check the permissions and the path again. I just made that script work on a site from the code you posted, and there is no " garbage" . What HTML package are you using? I just pasted it into a new page in FP, changed the path, and then saved it as a PHP file.

PHP needs to be " served" by a web server. To test the code, it needs to be on the server or on a staging server somewhere....

Man, i appreciate your help. IN that last posting I learned 2 things from you that I had overlooked. First, I inserted the code, I didnt paste it. Second, I didnt name the page .php I guess thats what you meant by naming it php. Could I take a look at the page that you made just to view the source as an example for my page? I think I am on the verge of getting this to work.

RE: Forms again - 5/13/2003 21:24:34   
Hi again, its unbelievable. Its working! That last post from you taught me just what I didn' t know. i fixed the path and renamed it .php and it worked. I even put it into two different directories to test it and it worked fromeither a private folder or the _public.html one. One one problem remains. When I go to my file manager of my server, I can see the file. But,,,,,,, I cant seem to open it or get it. It says permission denied to access it. Any ideas what is stopping that? I 777' d the folder that I have the documents going into.

another good question. That one I' m not sure about. Might have to FTP them back to yourself. Are you using cpanel (linux)?


I have no idea what the code looks like since I used FP to install this script, and there is no formatting.

Hi, my page looks like yours. Its working great! I even customized it a little bit. Yes, I' m using cpanel (linux) I will look into the ftp possibilities. I was able to open my web from the site in Fp and see the uploaded files then drag them to my desktop. But, they came out as html. Not a total loss, still workable. thanks a ton for all of the help on this. Too bad we cant figure out how to make that code email the uploaded stuff to us.

Yeah, I couldn' t get them back down to me from cpanel. I did test it a little.

MAC

ie4.0 OK (thats a good thing)
ie5.0 OK
NN4.05 OK

PC
ie6,5 OK
NN6.2 OK

could use some validation.....

Yeah, I need to ask my server admin about this. This could be a problem in the future. By the way, what are you refering to? Are you talking about how your page works with mac etc? You wrote:

Browser tests. Validation would be something like being able to limit the types of files that can be uploaded.
