Hi folks
Thanks for helping me out with my previous question about asynchronous 
behaviour and callback!

Now I have a bit related issue, where I am stuck.

I have a user registration form wich works nicely. Now I am trying to 
change that form to support user photo upload as well.
I am using Multer module and in the beginning everything worked fine.

*The problem comes when the user is not selecting any photo to be uploaded.*

I am saving the photos in a folder and storing to the DB (MySQL) all the 
filenames. The problem is that I cant get the function *addUserToDB(req, 
res) *called from a context where the file name is known. If the photo file 
is given, I could call *addUserToDB* inside the callback 
"onFileUploadComplete", however this never works if the photo file is not 
given because there is not going to happen any file upload. On the other 
hand, I could place this call inside "onParseEnd", which is always 
executed, BUT I have no more access to the file name! I can't get the photo 
name from res.body.filename anymore, its a different context :-( 

Any hints how would you implement this would be a great help. Thanks in 
advance.

var multer1 = multer({ dest: '../uploads/',
     rename: function (fieldname, filename) {
         return filename+Date.now();
     },
     onFileUploadStart: function (file) {  },

     onFileUploadComplete: function (file, req, res) {
        done=true;
     },

     onParseEnd : function (req, next) {
        // next();
     }
     });

router.post('/registerwithphoto', multer1, function(req, res) {
     *addUserToDB(req, res)*
})
