Steve,
Here is the form you need to find the file and submit it w/ a description:
[!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 3.2//EN">
[HTML>
[HEAD>
[TITLE>Get File<[TITLE>
[/HEAD>
[body background="images/bg.jpg">
[br>
[h3>Save Picture</h3>
[FORM ENCTYPE="multipart/form-data" METHOD=POST
ACTION="<@CGI><@APPFILE>?_function=write_file&<@userreferenceargument>">
[br>
User id: [input type=text value="<@arg userid>" name="userid"
readonly><br><br>
[b>Biography:[/b>[br>
[TEXTAREA ROWS=5 COLS=60 WRAP=VIRTUAL NAME="description">
[/TEXTAREA>
[br>[br>
[b>Picture File Name:</b> <INPUT TYPE=FILE SIZE=40 NAME="filename"
ACCEPT="IMAGE/*">
[P>
[INPUT TYPE=SUBMIT NAME="submit" VALUE="Save">
[INPUT TYPE=RESET VALUE=Reset>
[/FORM>
[FORM name=back>
[INPUT TYPE=button naME="back_button" value="Back" OnClick="history.go(-1)">
[/FORM>
[/body>
[/HTML>
When you submit this to the write_file, you insert a row into your table,
select the id number for that row out and use the file write action to put
your file wherever you want it using the id number from the table.
