ryanjantz -> Form with Fields to email plus file Upload? (5/6/2008 23:54:02)
I finally figured out the file upload thing. but what i want is a form that has a few fields of information about the uploader along with a file upload. I would like the text fields to be emailed to me while the file is uploaded. i can get the file to upload fine but when i put in an email address it gives me an error? is this possible to have both types of input in the same form, if not how is it possible to do what i want? thanks

What kind of script are you using to upload the file?

The problem with 'standard' uploading forms is that you cannot do any "Request.Form"stuff at the same time as you're uploading so you end up creating 2 separate forms instead; one for the file upload and 1 for the fields to use in databases and such. I am convinced you can't do it on 1 form with the FrontPage 'bots but I'm not a FP expert and others may know a way I do not. ASPUpload (by Persist) allows you to do that but it's not free. It's licensed at the server and is a server component (not client or FrontPage plug in kind of thing) but your host may already have it; it is very popular and many do have it. I use it and it's definitely the way to do multi-part uploads IMO. I can upload a full standard-field form as well as multiple files all on 1 form and do a lot more things with it once it's uploaded (on the server). To me, it was well worth the $200 just in the time it saves.

my host is godaddy and they say they have aspupload by persits by i can't for the life of me figure it out. I keep getting errors like this one... "Persits.Upload.1 error '800a0028' This feature has been disabled by system administrator. Use SaveVirtual instead. /BreakFreeMinistries.com/ASPUpload/progress_upload.asp, line 17 " any advice?

rdouglass -> RE: Form with Fields to email plus file Upload? (5/7/2008 12:37:38)
quote: any advice? Have you referred to their online manual or their examples? They are quite good actually and the examples are organized by specific tasks. It's really a rare item when you can actually find stuff in a manual. [;)] But esentially to SaveVirtual, you just ommit the path and the component stores it in memory as opposed to a physical location on disk. Then you send/save/whatever the file after the upload actually happens. Try changing the line that looks something like this: Upload.Save uploadLocation to just: Upload.Save and refer to the manual here for more specific SaveVirtual stuff: http://www.aspupload.com/manual_memory.html Hope that helps.

ryanjantz -> RE: Form with Fields to email plus file Upload? (5/7/2008 13:23:37)
thanks! that let me save a file. how can i actually pull it out of memory and put it on the server then? i can't find that anywhere.

rdouglass -> RE: Form with Fields to email plus file Upload? (5/7/2008 13:29:39)
Did you check that link I posted? I see it right on that page; in fact, several examples.

ryanjantz -> RE: Form with Fields to email plus file Upload? (5/7/2008 15:34:21)
yes i read it, the only thing i see is that you the files "can be accessed via the Upload.Files collection". but what is that i don't see anything else about and have nothing in my ASPUpload called that?

rdouglass -> RE: Form with Fields to email plus file Upload? (5/7/2008 16:17:28)

It would look something like this:

...
' Build path string ***Put the physical path to your upload dir here
Path = "c:\upload\"

' Save files to it. Our form has only one file item
' but this code is generic.
For Each File in Upload.Files
   File.SaveAs Path & "\" & File.FileName
   Response.Write "File saved as " & File.Path & "<BR>"
Next
...

Just remember you must call "Upload.Save" first. Seems backwards I know...

That help any?

ryanjantz -> RE: Form with Fields to email plus file Upload? (5/7/2008 21:30:44)
I have removed the info after Upload.Save which allowed me to actually upload, but i don't see anything from the code you posted in any of the asp files that i have from ASPUpload. Where should it be found? This is the only thing that is my progress_upload.asp <BODY> <% Set Upload = Server.CreateObject("Persits.Upload") ' This is needed to enable the progress indicator Upload.ProgressID = Request.QueryString("PID") Count = Upload.Save Response.Write Count & " file(s) uploaded to c:\upload" %> </BODY> Thank you for all your help, I'm just not getting this ASP stuff for some reason.
