file naming on upload

file naming on upload

Hey Jason

Am trying to figure out how to get a file to be uploaded and renamed to be the recordset primary ID relevant to each row.

So far I have tried (and failed with) Rename To > select > Recordset > ID which gives me:

<?php echo $row_WADAhomepage['HomepagePanelsID']; ?>

and that doesnt work

What am I doing wrong please?

Many thanks

Jamie

make sure the WADAhomepage recordset is before the upload file server behavior.

can you give more details on what you mean by:

"and that doesnt work"

What is the actual outcome?

How does this differ from what you expect?


"Does not work" is extremely vague and will lead to answers that are just as vague....

ok, well to start with when I add that through the WA uplaod wizard, I get a DW syntax error warning relating to this:

<?php
WA_DFP_SetupUploadStatusStruct("WA_UploadResult1");
if(isset($_POST["Update"]) || isset($_POST["Update_x"])){
WA_DFP_UploadFiles("WA_UploadResult1", "PanelImage", "2", "\".$row_WADAhomepage['HomepagePanelsID'] .\"", "JPG:100", $WA_UploadResult1_Params);
}
?>



then, when the file is uploaded and go to the live page I get this on the page (and nothing else)

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_ENCAPSED_AND_WHITESPACE, expecting T_STRING or T_VARIABLE or T_NUM_STRING in /home/young9i8/public_html/admin_cms/homepage_update.php on line 103

ok, errors are always helpful to include if you are geting them


this section of the code:
"\".$row_WADAhomepage['HomepagePanelsID'] .\""

should be:
"".$row_WADAhomepage['HomepagePanelsID'] .""

thanks Jason.. the page is loading fine now but it isnt renaming the file on upload... it retains the original filename rather than renaming it to 1, 2, 3 or whatever is in the ID column

<?php echo $row_WADAhomepage['HomepagePanelsID']; ?>

in the file section of the wizard
