Re: [PHP] trying to combine two forms into a single form
Actually if you want a very simple way, with a little JS, you can b64 encode the file and fill in the file field in the form with it (you can hide it or dynamically tack it on or something), so that you get everything when you submit the form including the file (you just gotta make a file back out of it, but thats simple :) )...? I think that would be by far the easiest solution, then you can do the shiny ajax stuff later if you feel like it. -- The trouble with programmers is that you can never tell what a programmer is doing until it’s too late. ~Seymour Cray On Thu, Jun 9, 2011 at 11:10 AM, Jim Lucas wrote: > On 6/9/2011 8:07 AM, matty jones wrote: > > The two forms work fine by themselves, my issue is getting to two of them > to > > work with together, I don't even care if you need to upload the image > > seperately from submitting the text data as long as it is all on the same > > page.

Re: [PHP] trying to combine two forms into a single form
I believe this is it. It is part of the mediawiki extension that I used as
a starting point for what I need it to do. I am slowly getting better at
PHP, this was dropped into my lap and I don't have much experience yet with
PHP, I come from bash/sed/awk land. This file is structuredinput.php, there
is only one more php file in the extension call specialstructuredinput.php
and I included that after this one as well.
Thanks

Re: [PHP] trying to combine two forms into a single form
The two forms work fine by themselves, my issue is getting to two of them to work with together, I don't even care if you need to upload the image seperately from submitting the text data as long as it is all on the same page. Thanks for the thoughts on jQuerry, I will look into it.
