Form Script that allows file uploads?
Hi,

I'm currently using formmail.pl from Matt's Script Archive and whilst it's done the job perfectly so far, it doesn't support file field (uploads).

I want to allow people to fill-out a form and attach a small file for reference - can anyone recommend a form-script that can do this?

All the best
Shaun

Just do something like...

HTML..
Code:
<INPUT TYPE="FILE" NAME="nfile">
<INPUT TYPE="text" name="dir" value="/dir/to/upload/to">

CGI..
Code:
use CGI;
$cgi = new CGI;
$dir = $cgi->param('dir');
$nfile = $cgi->param('nfile');


$nfile=~m/^.*(\\|\/)(.*)/; # strip the remote path and keep the filename
open(LOCAL, ">$dir/$nfile");
while(<$nfile>) {
print LOCAL $_;
}
close(LOCAL);

Hey Pall,
you must realy hate using closing table tags, because you keep leaving them out of your pages, or maybe you just don't like Netscape users.Unimpressed

Nuts....sorry about that - I whipped up that page quickly the other day when I realised the form mailer was worth releasing and forgot a few tags :(

Should be fixed now - let me know - thanks for pointing it out.

Thanks for the replies:

I'll try Jeremy's mod first to see if I can get it working with formmail, if not I'll have a look at your form script Paul (ps. Is there a REDIRECT option for your form script Paul?)

All the best

Uh...You don't print a text header anywhere in your main routine, therefore when you run setup it merely displays the text of the script...This from the version just downloaded minutes ago.

easy does it

I do mention on the download page that it's a beta and there are still a few bugs but I've added a header just for you and updated the download Cool
