DA Insert not triggering upload

So I created a new page and added an upload behavior to it with no issues. Progress bar, upload and all went fine. The server had the file after the upload and the progress bar worked great.

So added the upload behavior to an existing DA insert page and this is where I ran into problems.

The trigger for the upload does not go off when the insert button is pressed. The upload never happens and the file does not make it to the server.

The trigger for the upload behavior is...

  <?php
WA_DFP_SetupUploadStatusStruct("WA_UploadResult1");
if($_SERVER["REQUEST_METHOD"] == "POST"){
WA_DFP_UploadFiles("WA_UploadResult1", "BkgImage", "0", "", "false", $WA_UploadResult1_Params);
}
?>  

Now my understanding is that this should go off when the form is posted back to the insert page.

The insert trigger is the following...

  // WA Application Builder Insert
if (isset($_POST["Insert_x"])) // Trigger
{
$WA_connection = $localhost;
$WA_table = "listing";
...  

This code is triggered based on the $_POST["Insert_x"] array entry and not the POST METHOD.

I attempted to find a way to set the upload to the $_POST["Insert_x"] array entry and was unable to find anything.


What am I missing?

Note: I attached the insert php file as a text file to this post.

...

that should be working, to troubleshoot, find the following line of code:
$WA_redirectURL = "listing_Detail.php";

and change it to:
//$WA_redirectURL = "listing_Detail.php";
$WA_redirectURL = "";


then on the bindings panel, expand the WA Uploaded Files Global Status and drag the Debug info binding to the page.

post back the results of the debug info after trying to upload again.

  Status object: WA_UploadResult1

errorMessage : No file uploaded

Looks like the data isn't getting set.

for file upload to take place, the forms encoding type needs to be set to multipart/form-data.

change:
<form action="listing_Insert.php" method="post" name="WADAInsertForm" id="WADAInsertForm">

to:
<form action="listing_Insert.php" method="post" name="WADAInsertForm" id="WADAInsertForm" enctype="multipart/form-data">

That's the ticket! After that change everything works fine now...

I wonder how the insert was working when the POST data type wasn't set to forms data?

So I guess the lesson learned here is that when adding an upload to an existing DA form the data type needs to be changed by hand.

If you use Dreamweaver to insert the file form field, the encoding type will be changed automatically.

Insert -> Form -> File Field.

Or you can change the encoding type manually in the property inspector. Select the form tag, then change the encoding type dropdown list in the property inspector to multipart/form-data
