2 weeks off, image upload stops working

Being new to dfp2, it took me a while to get the insert record and image upload working properly.

after seemingly overcoming this obstacle, i have been doing some final testing, and now the image upload seems not to work any longer, (it definitely used to).
The insert record behavior still works ok, but i can't figure out whats wrong :confused:

i have attached the problematic insert and update pages.

many thanks

To troubleshoot, lets start with the insert page.

on the insert page, change line 42:
$WA_redirectURL = "tblsuccess_results.php";

to:
$WA_redirectURL = "";


so that the page will not redirect.


then go the the bindings panel and expand the WA Digital File pro Global Status group, add the debug info binding to the page. Please post back the debug info results after trying to upload a file.

The debug info indicates the image is being successfully uploaded. The upload seams to be working.

thanks again Jason

After your last message, and looking at the debug code, it was apparent that the problem lay in the uploaded image location.

I prefer using absolute rather than relative file paths and this is where the problem occured for me.

As I am working within an admin folder, then the line

'UploadFolder' => "../images/" is working OK

With an absolute file path, if i try to use 'UploadFolder' => "/images/", i get a string of error messages.

I must have dropped the leading slash before saving the file last time, which would obviously result in the file path /admin/images :)

Digital File cannot use server relative paths for the upload location, it needs to use document relative paths.
