Attachment from uploaded file not being sent with email

10/13/2010 5:00 pm | #1 YellowCircleWeb

Hi,

I've spent about an hour reading all the threads about UE4 and attachment problems and none of them seem to match the problem I'm having, hence me starting this new thread.

I've created a form with an email field and a file upload field. I've ensured that the form enctype is mutlitpart/form-data and I'm able to upload the files and receive the test email. However, the attachment doesn't come with the email when I select 'Submitted File' in the attachment settings of UE4. If I choose a static file the attachment comes through with the email.

I've attached my page and the Webassist Pages in the zip file.

I'm completely stumped on this.

first off, there is duplicate code on the page that will cause issues.

change:

php:

<?php

// WA_UploadResult1 Params Start

$WA_UploadResult1_Params = array();

// WA_UploadResult1_1 Start

$WA_UploadResult1_Params["WA_UploadResult1_1"] = array(

    'UploadFolder' => "uploads/",

    'FileName' => "[FileName]",

    'DefaultFileName' => "",

    'ResizeType' => "0",

    'ResizeWidth' => "0",

    'ResizeHeight' => "0",

    'ResizeFillColor' => "" );

// WA_UploadResult1_1 End

// WA_UploadResult1 Params End

?>

<?php?>

<?php

WA_DFP_SetupUploadStatusStruct("WA_UploadResult1");

if($_SERVER["REQUEST_METHOD"] == "POST"){

    WA_DFP_UploadFiles("WA_UploadResult1", "UploadFile", "0", "", "false", $WA_UploadResult1_Params);

}

?>



<?php



// WA_UploadResult1 Params Start

$WA_UploadResult1_Params = array();

// WA_UploadResult1_1 Start

$WA_UploadResult1_Params["WA_UploadResult1_1"] = array(

    'UploadFolder' => "uploads/",

    'FileName' => "".((isset($_POST[""]))?$_POST[""]:"")  ."",

    'DefaultFileName' => "",

    'ResizeType' => "0",

    'ResizeWidth' => "0",

    'ResizeHeight' => "0",

    'ResizeFillColor' => "" );

// WA_UploadResult1_1 End

// WA_UploadResult1 Params End

?>

to:

php:

<?php

// WA_UploadResult1 Params Start

$WA_UploadResult1_Params = array();

// WA_UploadResult1_1 Start

$WA_UploadResult1_Params["WA_UploadResult1_1"] = array(

    'UploadFolder' => "uploads/",

    'FileName' => "[FileName]",

    'DefaultFileName' => "",

    'ResizeType' => "0",

    'ResizeWidth' => "0",

    'ResizeHeight' => "0",

    'ResizeFillColor' => "" );

// WA_UploadResult1_1 End

// WA_UploadResult1 Params End

?>

<?php?>

<?php

WA_DFP_SetupUploadStatusStruct("WA_UploadResult1");

if($_SERVER["REQUEST_METHOD"] == "POST"){

    WA_DFP_UploadFiles("WA_UploadResult1", "UploadFile", "0", "", "false", $WA_UploadResult1_Params);

}

?>

second the Submited file option option only works if you do not use the Upload File behavior to upload the file to the server.

Where you are uploading the file, select the entered value option, then click the lightning bolt icon and select the WA Uploaded Files (UploadFile) -> Server Directory variable from the dynamic data bindings.

this will add code similar to:

php:

<?php echo $WA_DFP_UploadStatus["WA_UploadResult1"]["serverDirectory"]; ?>

copy this, then click
the lightning bolt again, this time select the WA Uploaded Files (UploadFile) -> Server File Name variable from the dynamic data bindings.

you will now have code similar to:

php:

<?php echo $WA_DFP_UploadStatus["WA_UploadResult1"]["serverFileName"]; ?>

paste the server directory code before that:

php:

<?php echo $WA_DFP_UploadStatus["WA_UploadResult1"]["serverDirectory"]; ?><?php echo $WA_DFP_UploadStatus["WA_UploadResult1"]["serverFileName"]; ?>

and click ok.

Jason,

I'm happy to say that worked perfectly. Thank you very much for your help. I'm a little confused as to why the option 'submitted file' didn't work though? Can you provide any guidance on that for future use?

the submitted file will work if you do not use file upload to store it on the server.
The uplaod behavior will process the file sent with the forms FILE collection, then clear the FILE collection, so Universal Email wont be able to use it for the attachment.

the submitted file option will only work if the file is not being saved on the server.
