Carl, the way you're doing it is for a single file at a time.  Not
that there's anything wrong with that, but if your user has lots of
files to upload you'll need to let them have more.


But if you run a template with a capacity for 5 uploads, and the user
only uploads 3, you'll get errors and/or you'll only see the last file
uploaded.  Thats why you have to loop over the  filenames, giving them
unique variable names, and only doing it for the number of files being
uploaded.  Furthermore, if you hard code it as file1, file2, file3
etc,   and the user uploads using the second and third upload field on
the form, you'll get an error straight away when the action page looks
for file1.

Look at the tutorial I put on my site for just this situation.

Try it that way first, so you can see what does what, then move the
functionality into a CFC.     To include the processing in a CFC you
dont have to make many changes, and Steve spelled that all out for
you.

Thanks for that, but how do you call the files using this way normall I
would use CFFILE.SERVERFILE? since they are whatever.tmp? and that's
what goes into the database blahblah.tmp? Where as b4 if I only had one
file it way easy to do, I did this code below...

Set
<cffile....>
<cfset attachment = CFFILE.SERVERFILE>

and Call or insert it later
#attachment#




Thanks

Carl

i am been pondering this idea

form:
You can added as many attachements as you like:
<input type="file" name="added_file"><input type="submit" name="attachement" value="Add this attachement">
<br><br>
Added Doc's:
<ul>
<cfloop query="qdoc">
<li>#qdoc.doc_path#</li>
</cfloop>
</ul>

logic

<cfif isdefined('added_file') and not isdefined('form.submit')>


    <cffile action="" destination="#session.filepath#" filefield="form.added_file" nameconflict="makeunique">

    <cfquery datasource="+++++">
    INSERT INTO review_doc (doc_path, review_id)
    VALUES ('#file.ServerFile#', 0)
    </cfquery>

</cfif>

after form submited

<cfif isdefined ("form.Submit")>
<cfset desc = #htmlFormatText(form.review)#>
<cfquery datasource=+++++">
INSERT INTO review (review_title, review_date, review, username, include_menu_id)
VALUES ('#form.review_title#', #createodbcdate(now())#, '#desc#', '#session.mm_username#', #m_include#)
</cfquery>

<cfquery datasource="++++" name="qreview_id">
    SELECT @@IDENTITY AS review_id
    FROM review
</cfquery>

<cfquery datasource="+++++">
    UPDATE review_doc
    SET review_id = #qreview_id.review_id#
    WHERE review_id = 0
</cfquery>

just an idea! still an issue that if 2 user's are filling the form out at the same time... but this way you don't have to have a fixed amount of boxes which to me is not the ideal solution as you are leading the user instead of the user doing what the what.

thinking i could trap the username as well as setting it to 0 that way i would have the unique user and one user couldn't be filling in the same form in twice.
