Using the type=file attribute on an <input> to a form I browse to this: \\YREKA\yreka.root\var\www\html\af\images\explode.gif
When I submit the form it ends up saving the Form<input string to the database like this: \YREKAyreka.rootvarwwwhtmlafimagesexplode.gif It strips out all the \ except for the double one. Could this be an effect of <cf_formurl2attributes> ?? Anyway... So I add enctype="multipart/form-data" to the <form tag> Now I get this in the database: /home/coldfusionmx/runtime/servers/default/SERVER-INF/temp/wwwroot-tmp/neotmp20506.tmp Whats that??? looks like a temp storage location that CF might want to use while the file uploads??? HOWEVER, all I am doing at the moment is Naming a file and trying to store the name... Later I will go get the file and Upload it. So I add enctype="text/plain" to the <form tag> And it throws me to my login page... seems like it is blowing out all my client.variables which if the system sees takes the user straight to the LogIn page. ------------ What I'm trying to do is ... simply browse to a file name... and then use that in a subsequent cffile upload.... but first I am saving the filename to a database... I will be turning that around once I can save the filename properly. Any pointers... or point me to where I can find this explained in more detail than I can find. It seems that trial and error is required because I really don't understand what I am reading.
