Duplicate file extension on upload

Duplicate file extension on upload

I have followed the tutorial for inserting and updating image files. It all works - the images upload to the web server and the files name gets stored in the database however when the filename gets stored it gets stored with a duplicate extension ie .jpg.jpg on the update image form and the images get uploaded with an extra .jpg.

I have tried removing the server behavior and redoing it - but I still get the same problem. There only seems to be a problem on the update form.

Hi Georgina,

If you visit this link showthread.php?t=4964 and check out what Jason told me, I think it will remove the second jpg for you.

Thank you David but I don't think your problem was the same. I have checked through that thread but I don't have any errors or permission problems. The images are getting uploaded perfectly and I can view them if I go to them directly through the url. The problem is that the filename is getting stored in the database with an extra extension ie .jpg.jpg

Can you compress the update page in a zip file and send it along in your reply so I can take a look at the code to seer what the problem may be.

It is storing the image with and extra extension and uploading the image with an extra extension. I have attached the upload file

The problem Georgina was having was caused by not using the proper value for the "File" on the second page of the upload file wizard.

make sure this is set to [FileName] for the uploaded file to be named properly.
