HTML - Making A File Upload Form
So all I want to do is to make a form where I can upload files to my webserver. I'd just like to stick to plain old HTML if possible. I made the form and the page but the problem is that when I upload a file the form gets submitted properly and it goes to another web page that is set as the action on the form however the file is nowhere to be seen! I thought that the file would just automatically appear in the same directory that the html file where the submitting form is. So does anyone know where my file is? Thanks!
Similar TutorialsHi, I've encountered this problem, and been struggling for few hours. Thing is, I have a form with enctype="multipart/form-data" and 2 inputs with type "file" in it with names RequestForm[doc1] and RequestForm[doc2]. When I submit the form, only the first one of the fields is sent into $_POST. If i comment out the 1st field, then only the second is sent. This thing is just killing me! Could someone help? What might be wrong? And yes, I do need 2 inputs, not 1 multifile input. Hi guys. I'm hoping someone can help me out. I'm by no means a web developer, but owning a business I tend to learn a little of everything - probably just enough to be dangerous. I'm trying to post a page that will have survey questions for all the brides that come through our boutique. The form has to be able to handle the normal form stuff - text fields, check boxes, etc. - but it also has to upload a user selected file. The idea is to get a bunch of feedback as well as a shot of the bride in her wedding gown. So, we'll have testimonials and accompanying pics. (I'm warning about copyright issues on the form). A prize will be randomly awarded to one of the survey participants at the end of the whole thing... once the promo is over. So, I've got the form pretty much done. But, I need a script that can handle the results and stores the images in such a way that I know what survey it goes with... make sense? Help me out here, I'm stuck. If it helps, I'm using IXwebhosting's linux platform. Thanks everybody! Looking for a form / script to place on an HTML page that will accept not only a number of fields (name, email, etc) but a file (MS Word, TXT, or PDF) as well. Contents can either be stored in a SQL database, saved on server, or emailed to an account. Any help is appreciated. Is there a way to put a custom graphic for the browse button in the file upload field, similar to how you can use a custom graphic for the submit button? The following common code is not working in Firefox (3.0.11). It works in Safari (4.02) and IE7. When I say not working, I mean that when I click the submit button, the address does not change to the form processing url: Code: <!-- The data encoding type, enctype, MUST be specified as below --> <form enctype="multipart/form-data" action="uploader.php" method="POST"> <!-- MAX_FILE_SIZE must precede the file input field --> <input type="hidden" name="MAX_FILE_SIZE" value="30000" /> <!-- Name of input element determines name in $_FILES array --> Send this file: <input name="mp3file" type="file" /> <input type="submit" name="submit" value="Send File" /> </form> The file uploader.php does nothing, it is blank, I'm merely trying to establish communication. Once again, the code functions in IE and Safari so I dont think this is PHP related. Hi I need to make a simple html file and need software to make it but I do not have any. What best free software is best to do it? Hi Guys and Gals! Looking for a little help on this one... I use a service that allows me to upload up to 20 photos to each of my work orders. The upload screen is set up with 20 seperate "Browse" lines (1 for each photo). I have requested that the page be recoded to accept a range of photos in a single "Browse" line, as opposed to one line for each. This would really cut down on the "clicking time" involved in attaching photos to an order. Heres my problem...they tell me that it cant be done, and blame it on Internet Explorer capabilities or lack of... Is this true? And if so, does IE version 7 support this functionality? Here is the current code from the upload screen: HTML Code: <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"> <HTML> <HEAD> <title>Attach Files to a Workorder</title> <meta name="vs_targetSchema" content="http://schemas.microsoft.com/intellisense/ie5"> <style type="text/css"> BODY { BACKGROUND-COLOR: linen; TEXT-ALIGN: center } </style> <script language="javascript"> <!-- function ConfirmDelete(filename){ var CompleteDelete = confirm("Are you sure you want to delete "+filename+"?"); if(CompleteDelete == true){window.location='MultipleFileUploads.aspx?id=123553&action=delete&filename='+filename} else{return false} } //--> </script> </HEAD> <BODY TEXT="1"> <div id="MultipleFileUploadForm"> <H3>Attachment Upload</H3> <div id=notesholder align=center style="text-align:left;width:600px;"> <UL> <LI> The files you upload here will not show as uploaded until you save your changes to the order. <LI> You cannot upload a file that is larger than 1MB <LI> All images that have a file size larger than 75KB will be automatically resized <LI> All images that have either a width or height greater than 640px will be resized proportionately <LI> All bitmap files will automatically be converted to JPGs <LI> All files will be renamed in the following format.

Iknow the location of the file and i want to upload the file into the server Hi, I have been using ext its really fun working on it.

Ur repsonse can help me analyze the problem and its possible solutions. Thanks I have a browse button when user selects a file i want to display the files attached in a table with attached filename and date. can anybody tell me how to generate table dynamically. Hi! I found out that file_names are not encoded properly when performing a HTTP multipart/form-data request. (It does not encode according to the encode type that we specify) I created a small web page which contains a input tag (file type) and tried a combination of "Enctype" and "accept-charset" in the form tag and nothing seems to work. Please find my tries in the attached zip file. (Please do change the action URL to one that is working, before you test). The RTF files contain the HTTP request header that I captured when the page is loaded from Chrome, Firefox, MSIE. Is there a way for me to fix this? /Boo I am trying to write a html form in which i want to provide a default file to be uploded from the clients computer. i tried doing it by setting the value attribute to a file in some location.

Thanks Well i'm a total newby at this and i was wondering if you guys could help me out with this i want a form with a textbox so someone can put something in the textbox and click a sumbit button and then what ever they put in the textbox can be stored and the submit button redirects them to another page... is this possible? Hi guys, I am building a site for a new company and they need a page with a form on it that a user can fill out, that gets sent to the company, which they use to send back a quote. So obviously the form will require fields for the users name and other important details. As for the actual info needed to make the quote, there are three different types of quote (so maybe three different forms would work?) The forms are as follows: Marine Type of boat: Length: Height to antifoul line: Hull: Material: Antifoul re-application: (yes/no) Marina location: Automotive Make: Model: Year: Type of strip: Condition: Rust: Blast location: Home location: Swimming Pool Type of pool: locaton: Size (m squared): Depth: Shape: Tiled: (yes/no) Re-paint: (yes/no) Blast location: This excel file also shows the forms required: http://www.mediafire.com/?33oxx0zf6tac8ap I would greatly appreciate it if someone showed me how i can make these forms using HTML.

Hello professional web geniuses. I just built a website for the first time (actually its the third attempt after getting some much needed tips on design) my site has a "Free Consultation" button that leads the potential client to a form. http://www.fighttheticket.ca/index_f...20Consultation I have two problems with the form. 1. It does not send the information to the email address that I though I programmed it to go to. 2. After the potential client fills out the form and hits "Submit" it goes to a 404 page not found page. I really am at my wits end. Ive tried changing the properties as well as other fixes but nothing seems to work. I would pay someone to help but, quite frankly I am broke! (Im just starting the business) Can anyone offer some advice that can make me sane again? Thank you in advance. Hi all, I am a novice web developer, building a site for a friends business and i have decided to use a pre-designed template...which has gone well so far. I have encountered a small problem though. I am trying to make a contact form for the 'Contact us' page. As in one of those little forms with a few text boxes for the users own details and a bigger text field for a message which will then be sent to a specified email address when a submit button is pressed. The code that came with the template is as follows: HTML Code: <article> <div class="content"> <form action="" id="contacts-form"> <fieldset> <div class="grid_7 alpha"> <label><input type="text" value="Name:" onfocus="if(this.value=='Name:') this.value='';" onblur="if(this.value=='') this.value='Name:';"/></label> <label><input type="text" value="E-mail:" onfocus="if(this.value=='E-mail:') this.value='';" onblur="if(this.value=='') this.value='E-mail:';"/></label> <label><input type="text" value="State:" onfocus="if(this.value=='State:') this.value='';" onblur="if(this.value=='') this.value='State:';"/></label> <label><input type="text" value="Fax:" onfocus="if(this.value=='Fax:') this.value='';" onblur="if(this.value=='') this.value='Fax:';"/></label> </div> <div class="grid_8 omega"> <textarea onfocus="if(this.value=='Message:') this.value='';" onblur="if(this.value=='') this.value='Message:';">Message:</textarea> <div class="wrapper"> <a href="#" class="button" onclick="document.getElementById('contacts-form').submit()">Submit</a><a href="#" class="button" onclick="document.getElementById('contacts-form').reset()">clear</a> </div> </div> </fieldset> </form> </div> </article> Problem is that nothing happens when i click submit. I am told that in the 3rd line of code where it says form action= that i should put mailto:address but that didn't work. Can someone please help me figure out this code so when the submit button is pressed, a message is actually sent? Thanks in advance, Josh |
