Uploading Files via Form

Uploading Files via Form
Thu, 26 Apr 2007 12:01:54 +010
Hello.

I have a form on my site where visitors can upload their photos. I am very 
limited on space and need to have the 'browse' button under/or even above 
the location box.

Here is the line I am using:

<p><input type="file" name="upload"
size="10" /></p> <input type="hidden" 
name="config" value="1" />


I am using form mailer for handling my form.

But can't seem to made the button appear anywhere but to the right of the 
location box.

Please help!

Many thanks
Gary

Try using a table and make table a form.  Then place buttons inside cells as
needed to get the layout you want.

Hi Nancy, I tried that, but could not work out how to make the field a 
'file' field and to link it to a 'browse' button.

I'm sure its probably very simple, but I just cant see it!

Many thanks

Hi Gary,
After re-reading your post, I realize now that the NOF8 Form to Email
component isn't quite robust enough for what you want to do.

You should use a server-side script.  Check with your host to see which
scripts (if any) they recommend.

If your server supports PHP:  Michael Evangelista wrote this tutorial for
setting up the formm@ailer script from DB masters into NOF sites.

If your server has a cgi-bin - look at some of these form mailer scripts:

x.html


Best of luck on your project,
Nancy

Hi Nancy, thanks for the reply.

I am using Formm@ailer - but isn't this a server-side script?

I have opted to setup a whole new page to deal with uploading photos rather 
than trying to squeeze a form into such a small area, so my original 
question is now irrelevant to my needs.

Thanks again
Gary
