Upload Wizard not displaying field name

Upload Wizard not displaying field name

Hi. I am trying to put an upload field into an insert page using the FileManipulation > Upload Wizard. I am following the instructions from http://www.webassist.com/tutorials/Add-file-fields-to-Data-Bridge-insert-update-pages.

After creating the field, there is no browse button next to the field, I am actually doing a copy/paste from another page to get the browse button to show, when I open the Upload Wizard, the dropdown field for the File Field does not work. I manually type it in. Then I did the binding. When testing, the file is uploaded to the correct directory but the name is not appearing in the database.

I am attaching the code. What am I missing please?

Thanks
Miki

edit the form tag and set the encoding type to mutipart/form-upload

I edited the form tog to this:
<form class="Basic_Default" id="Insert_Basic_Default" name="Insert_Basic_Default" method="post" action="<?php echo (htmlentities($_SERVER["PHP_SELF"], ENT_QUOTES)); ?>" enctype="multipart/form-upload">

But now the document does not upload to the server nor does the file name get into the database.

Thanks

sorry, should be multipart/form-data;


enctype="multipart/form-data"

LOL - I was wondering - I thought - Wow! that's a new one! So, that worked, thanks.

Next question - why did that not go in when the form was created?

well, you say that when you added the field, it did not show the browse button, this can only happen if the field you added was not a file field.

you then pasted in the file field from another page, it wont automatically change the encoding type unless you use the DW Insert -> Form -> File Field menu point to add the file field.

if you manually add the file field, you need to manually edit the encoding type.

Thank you - I hope I can remember this. It is working fine now. This is resolved and thanks for your timely replies.
