1. Re: Attaching file to a form
Newsgroup_User Feb 23, 2007 1:32 PM (in response to Hoppie)If I understand what you are asking for, it cannot be done.
The problem is that the server sends the email, so the attachment would
already have to be on the server before it sent the email out...make sense?
What you could do is have the system send out the email and at the same time
upload the document to the server and you can pick that up whenever you
want.

Hoppie Feb 23, 2007 2:41 PM (in response to Hoppie)I think I will take the easy way out and just put up an separated email link if they are going to send a file. Thanks for the help and responding so quickly. -

Sure it can - I've done it on several sites. You just need to use a file upload script together with the form mail script. The file upload stores the file with a temporary name and sends that name to the email part of the script which attaches the file and mails it. Once mailed, the script deletes the temp file. -

Newsgroup_User Feb 24, 2007 11:32 PM (in response to Hoppie)...or check out Forms to Go (www.bebosoft.com/products/formstogo/). They
have versions for PHP, ASP, and PERL, I think. I use the PHP version for
sites all the time and it works like a charm.

"Ignore.....".
Are you sure he is using PHP?

Newsgroup_User Feb 25, 2007 12:28 PM (in response to Hoppie)Wasn't meant to be nasty. I don't know why you took it that way. Your
original post left no room for you to be mistaken. It was absolute. A
statement starting with something like "I think..." leaves room for mistake.
Absolute statements like "it cannot be done" must be ignored. Simple.
> Are you sure he is using PHP?
Given the context that doesn't matter, IMO.
