I have the file uploading working ...

Inside dialog setup:

Code: Select all

?'<form action="../upload.php" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">'
    ?'<input type="file" name="file" id="file">'
    ?'<input type="submit" value="Upload Report" name="submit">'
?'</form>'
 

PHP Code:

Code: Select all

<?php
 
 $targetfolder = "PDF/";
 
 $targetfolder = $targetfolder . basename( $_FILES['file']['name']) ;
 
 $ok=1;
 
$file_type=$_FILES['file']['type'];
 
if ($file_type=="application/pdf") {
 
 if(move_uploaded_file($_FILES['file']['tmp_name'], $targetfolder))
 
 {
 
 echo "The file ". basename( $_FILES['file']['name']). " is uploaded";
 
 }
 
 else {
 
 echo "Problem uploading file";
 
 }
 
}
 
else {
 
 echo "You may only upload PDFs<br>";
 
}
 
?>

great!

Using the following:

Code: Select all

?'<form action="../upload.php" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data" target="_blank","width=600,height=400">'
    ?'<input type="file" name="file" id="file">'
    ?'<input type="submit" value="Upload Report" name="submit">'
?'</form>'
 

The file name is placed in "file"

If I do the following I get what I expect to see.

Code: Select all

MsgInfo(file.value)

But when I try to pass the value using the code below, nothing is passed.

Code: Select all

'document.getElementById( "file" ).value.trim() '

Any ideas?

As I already said, you can't. It's a security measure.

I'm not trying to "set" the file name, I'm trying to Get it.

MsgInfo(file.value) will return "C:\fakename\myfilename.pdf"
So If MsgInfo() can get the value why not 'document.getElementById( "file" ).value.trim() ' ?

I do not require the path so I can just pull out the myfilename.pdf from what is returned.

[Enrico Maria Giordano]

Sorry, I misunderstood your question.

Ok, try to remove name="file".

[Jeff Barnes]

"name=file" is what gets passed to upload.php
If I remove that I get errors in my upload.php file

[Enrico Maria Giordano]

So remove id="file" and use something like

Code: Select all

$_POST[ "File" ]

(PHP)

[Jeff Barnes]

Sorry Enrico but I'm not too familiar with php.
I added the $_POST["file"] to the php file but get an error in my php code now:

"Undefinded index: file" at the line where I added $_POST["file']

I'm still confused as to why MsgInfo() will show the correct info but I can't seem to get it any other way.

[Jeff Barnes]

I think I may have not stated clearly what it is I am after.

The php code is able to get the filename submitted via my button.
The file gets uploaded. All is good on this side.

What I want to do is take the filename and add it to a field in my dbf file.

If I click the Choose file button

Code: Select all

?'<input type="file" name="file" id="file">'

Then with a button in my dialog do something like:

Code: Select all

@ x,y button ..... ACTION MsgInfo(file.value)

It will return the filename (along with "C:\fakepath" which I am ok with).

So it's on the Fiveweb code side I need to get the filename from "file.value"

Again, If it can be done with MsgInfo() it should also work with:

Code: Select all

'document.getElementById( "file" ).value.trim() '

This is where I am getting confused.

I hope that explains it clearly

Jeff,

So If MsgInfo() can get the value why not 'document.getElementById( "file" ).value.trim() ' ?

I think it is cause the quotes " inside the string

Those expressions get stringfied. Please check the source code of the resulting web page and see what javascript code is there

[Antonio Linares]

ops, sorry, thats not the problem

Please try with:

... ACTION ... alert( document.getElementById( "file" ).value.trim() );

[Jeff Barnes]

Last part of the button used to "save" all the fields:
document.getElementById( "oGet33" ).value.trim() + ":" + document.getElementById( "file" ).value.trim() } );

Line for the MsgInfo(file.value)
$( "#oBtn4" ).click( function( event ){ MsgInfo( file.value ) } );


I tried to remove the quotes from "file" but it did not help.

[Jeff Barnes]

... ACTION ... alert( document.getElementById( "file" ).value.trim() )

Does show "c:\fakename\filename.ext"

So since we can see it with both MsgInfo() and Alert(), how can I get the value into a DBF

[Antonio Linares]

Jeff,

You have to supply that value to the FiveWeb cgi app as a parameter to save it

Have you tried it ?
