for the image to be displayed in a php page, it must be saved to a folder on your site. The uplaod must save the image to a folder on your site, and the file name must be stored in a database.

If this is for a user profile page, you need to add a column to your users table, then edit the update record behavior on the page to store the file name to that column.

see the "How to apply Digital File Pro to DataAssist Insert and Update pages" tutorial on the data assist support page for details:

Try to break down what you want to do in two separate steps. First, you want to upload the image and have it display on a page. As Jason said, the image must be uploaded to a folder on the server and the PHP page will link to that image when it's time to display it.

How does the page know where the image is and what the file name is? You store the filename in the database along with the other user information. Then on the user profile page, you insert an image placeholder and insert the path along with the recordset variable that represents the stored file name.

To also have the image emailed to you, inset the UE behavior to create an email. But this will not work at the same time with an image upload function on the same form. You have to make a small modification in one of the UE dialogs to get this to work. I can't remember exactly how to do this, but Jason did post the instructions in this forum - I may have been the one to ask the question, or at least I know I ccommemted in the thread. Do a search of this forum for uploading and attachments and you should findnit.

you have to use data assist to store the uploaded file name in the database.


the reason you must use data assist for this is due to a limitation in the way the Dreamweaver insert record behavior works.

the file manipulation of Universal Email stores the uploaded file name in a variable named Server File Name.

The Dreamweaver insert record does not allow to use any other variables except form variables for the insert.

The Dreamweaver insert behavior will allow you to use the server File name created the Upload file behavior in the insert, the data assist behavior will though.

You may not like it, but that;s the limitation to the Dreamweaver insert behavior, and why DataAssist must be used.

see the "How to apply Digital File Pro to DataAssist Insert and Update pages" tutorial on the data assist support page for details:
