How to add file upload?

How to add file upload?

I must be doing something wrong. I've created my form with the field Path for the file I want to upload. I've selected the field, gone to WebAssist>File Manipulation>Upload and added Path in the File Field. In the Upload Folder of used the bolt to select Path in the recordset of the table.

What I'm expecting is when I use the form and put my cursor in the Path field that it will allow me to browse to my local drive and select a file to upload. But nothing happens.

Can you tell me where I'm going wrong or point me to a tutorial?

Thanks.

to add a file field to your form go to Insert -> Forms -> File Filed

in the upload behavior select the file field, in the upload path, enter the path to the folder you would like the file to be uploaded to.

It's been a while since I did this, so I started over and this time in the DataAssist Pages wizard created a field (FileName) with a file type of 'file' and also in the wizard picked which folder it was to upload to. I also had it create the table for me, in case I had done something wrong there.

The form seems to work just fine - that is, no error messages, the status bar gives the uploading percentages. But when it's all done it stays at the insert page, nothing is uploaded and there's no entry in the database table.

I've run through this a few times but can't seem to get it to work.

Here's the Insert page. I haven't been able to test the others yet since I can't upload.

Thanks, Jason.

hmmm, the code looks correct.

to trouble shoot, make the following changes:

at line 1 add the following code:

php:
<?php

error_reporting
(E_ALL);
ini_set('display_errors','on');
if(
$_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] == "POST") {
var_dump($_FILES);
}
?>



post back the results after trying the upload again.

After it's done, above the Insert form, it says
array(0) { }
