- see footer for list info -<
I tried copying the files that CF places in its temporary directory when a HTTP post is received, but there are 3 problems with that. 1) The files are called neotmp12345.tmp so I can't determine if they are jpg, wma, txt etc file types. 2) Their tmp names have no reference to link in with the HTTP post request that put them there. I can't rely on the file timestamp because we could receive concurrent posts. 3) A blind cffile action="copy" will grab hold of all tmp files include some that don't belong with the current HTTP post I'm trying to work with. I can't rely on timestamps for said reason.
The last option is to grab the raw http content and manually extract and decode each attachment. It's a bit silly to do that since CF was created so people don't have to do menial coding jobs like that! Thanks, I appreciate your replies, Peter. Gary F.

>- see footer for list info -< Hmmm. Last time I had to use PHP I was tripped up because by default it didn't split out seperate form fields - it only returns the first one. I had to change the form and append [] to the field names to get the multiple values. That was for checkboxes rather than file fields, but I'd expect it to be consistant across field types. Anyway, CF shouldn't remove them until the end of the request, because it doesn't know if you'll later have a cffile/upload tag. Unless it's smart and looks ahead, inwhich case maybe you could put a dummy upload after the copy (but in a try/catch) and that might enable you to copy them. (which probably requires a cfdirectory first to find out what the filenames are.)
