The web page I'm having a problem with builds a PDF document and attaches that
to an e-mail. The problem is that the user can do this for successive job
numbers one after the other (it's a site for court reporters to report back to
the company that sent them on a job). I have been naming the PDF with the
reporter's initials (e.g. PHT.pdf if I were one of them), and the bug is that
frequently the PDF for the previous job gets attached instead of the PDF just
built.
One solution I thought of is simply to use the job number as the name of the
PDF. This would guarantee that each next one built is different. But then it
occurred to me that if the user reports a job, then realizes he made a mistake,
corrects it, and sends the report again for the same job, there's a danger that
the earlier mistaken version would get sent instead.
Here is the CFMAIL tag (names changed to protect the guilty):
<cfmail from="#sendfrom#" to="#sendto#"
subject="Job #Session.sJobNo# has been reported by #Session.UserName#"
server="abc.def.net" username="[EMAIL PROTECTED]" password="blahblah"
mimeattach="c:/Inetpub/wwwroot/Reporters/#Session.UserName#.PDF">
Report completed: See Attached Job Sheet
</cfmail>
The code which buildt the PDF attached by the code just above attempts to
ensure that the PDF for the job just reported gets overwritten, and doesn't get
cached, but evidently does not succeed:
<html>
<head>
<title>Post-Job Reporting</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"/>
<cfoutput><META HTTP-EQUIV="Expires"
CONTENT="#GetHTTPTimeString(NOW())#"/></cfoutput>
<META HTTP-EQUIV="Pragma" CONTENT="no-cache"/>
<META HTTP-EQUIV="cache-control" VALUE="no-cache, no-store,must-revalidate"/>
<LINK REL="STYLESHEET" TYPE="text/css" HREF="ACRGA.css"/>
</head>
<body>
<cfset filename = UCase(Session.UserName) & ".PDF">
<cfdocument format="PDF" filename="#filename#" overwrite="yes">
<TABLE border="1" width="100%" style="border-style:groove; font-size:14pt;">
<TR><TD>
<table width="100%">
<cfoutput>
<tr>
<td valign="middle" align="left">
etc., etc.,...
Any ideas as to what might be wrong?
