Joel, Here is a run down on paths in ColdFusion (include ExpandPath()):
http://www.bennadel.com/blog/597-ColdFusion-Path-Usage-And-Manipulation- Overview.htm {or http://bennadel.com/index.cfm?dax=blog:597.view} ExpandPath() goes relative the currently executing page. Since that page is in the upload-image directory (I assume this is the "upload" in the dir structure below), you would need to use the image directory from within the "current" directory: #ExpandPath( "./images/" )# <cffile action="UPLOAD" filefield="Filedata" destination="#ExpandPath( "./images/#url.id#" )#" nameconflict="OVERWRITE" /> I assume that URL.id is the name of the image to be uploaded. CAUTION: In newer versions of CF, this "bug" is no longer valid. It will actually create a directory names #URL.id# and then store the uploaded file in that. CFFILE-Upload should ONLY use a destination directory, NOT a file name. Hope some of that helps. ......................

Currently, my upload file (uploadimage.cfm) is in a folder called "upload-image" which is one level off the root. I want to be able to upload the images to a folder called "images" within the upload-image folder. Visually, it looks like this: root (dir) upload (dir) uploadimage.cfm images (dir) Currently, the "expandpath" drops the images in the same folder as the form file (uploadimage.cfm). How would I modify the following to place the uploaded files in the "images" folder? Also, I have not had any experience thus far (being pretty new to CF) with "expandpath"--if someone could make a short note of explanation, I would appreciate that also! <cffile action="UPLOAD" filefield="Filedata" destination="#expandpath(".")#\#url.id#" nameconflict="OVERWRITE"> Thanks!
