Upload and attach the same file to email.

In the following thread, I believe my solution exists:

showthread.php?t=16501

I am trying to both upload the file and attach it to an email. I read where I couldn't use the Submitted File option for the attached file, but I'm wondering if I need to apply all the other code changes in that thread or if they were meant specifically for that person in that situation.

I did try to only use the Server Variable as an entered value for the attachment, but so far that hasn't worked - an attachment came through, a DAT file.

If I do have to implement more code changes, what should I be on the lookout for as far as variables that were included in that solution that may be unique to that person, and which ones are set WA variables?

not all of the code changes are needed, you will just need to click the lightning bolt next to entered value, and select the Server directory variable, the code created will look like:
<?php echo $WA_DFP_UploadStatus["WA_UploadResult1"]["serverDirectory"]; ?>



copy that, as long as you are copying the code that is created in the wizard, it will be correct for you.

Then cleck the lightnkng bolt again and select the server file name, this will create code similar to:
<?php echo $WA_DFP_UploadStatus["WA_UploadResult1"]["serverDirectory"]; ?><?php echo $WA_DFP_UploadStatus["WA_UploadResult1"]["serverFileName"]; ?>


past the server directory code in front of it so the full string looks like:
<?php echo $WA_DFP_UploadStatus["WA_UploadResult1"]["serverDirectory"]; ?><?php echo $WA_DFP_UploadStatus["WA_UploadResult1"]["serverFileName"]; ?>

Thanks - that did it.

I just stumbled for a minute, I was looking in the source code for the copy and paste mentioned above, but then I realized that you meant to do it right in the UE wizard.

Glad to hear it is working.

Hi, I have a form how would I setup to receive images as attachment on my email? Would I be able test on my local server?

there are 2 ways to attach files to an email??

1) Dont use the file upload behavior and select the Submitted file option on the attachments tab of the UE behavior

??2) Use the file upload behavior to save the file to the server. Then on the attachments tab of the UE behavior, select the enter value option.??Click the lightning bolt icon and expand the Uploaded Files binding group, select the Server Directory binding. Copy the code for the server directory binding, then select the Server file name binding. lastly, copy the server directory code in front of the server file name binding code.


no, you wont be able to test sending emails locally unless you install an SMTP server.

no, there is not a tutorial, the steps a list above are what you need to do.
