Saving displayed image on a form

[coldfuse228]

Hi, currently, I display images on my form using '<img src="getPhoto.cfm?name=John />'. getPhoto calls a stored procedure to get photo. When the user clicks the save button on the form, I'd like to save the photo to my personal database. Is there a way to somehow get the displayed image binary code ? I don't want to make another call to that stored procedure to get binary and save to db.

Thanks so much,
C

image binary code ?

Not through the form. You could use JS to get the image name and pass
that through a hidden field, but for the binary you will need to read
the image file on the server with <cffile...>.

Thank you for your reply Ian, I was thinking about setting an img id (<img id="pic" src="getPhoto.cfm?name=John />) and then in my action page, I would do something like 'FORM.pic' but I guess that wouldn't work.

Thanks again,
C
