File upload

Has anyone used the file upload as of yet.
Are there any samples or detailed explanations on it's proper use?

Re: File upload

Which file upload ?

The one within a BV page (uploading one or more files when publishing a page) or the one of forms (uploading files through forms) ?

Re: File upload

Ok I should have been a little more on detail.
say I have a form for a visiter to up load a file.
Or up load files through forms
I have reread the section and have better understanding
now.
just wonder if there is a basic sample to look at to be sure i do understand.

Re: File upload

There is nothing difficult about this.Just add a "upload" field in your form and you will receive the uploaded files attached in your mail.Please note that there are restrictions regarding file size for uploads and for email attachements.

Re: File upload

I believe he is asking for the size restrictions, as he is planning on some larger files to be transferred ... it would be best to disclose the upload file size limitations outright (with the new servers, I no longer am quite sure what it is myself, otherwise I would have offered such).

Re: File upload

I only see a request of a file upload form sample.

There is no such sample (unless you download the ABVFP zip, where you can find a sample of form that contains, among other, upload fields.

Re: File upload

So ... just to be clear once and for all, what are the file size restrictions?

Re: File upload

Not fixed for all servers.

To find out, create in Notepad a file with the following content:

<?php
phpinfo();
?>

Click on Save As -> Select file type -> All files and Save it As "php_info.php" or any other "strange" name you like (like, in example, "Jh645J4HH.php"), for security reasons.

Upload the file in your public_html and run it through your browser: http://www.yourdomain.com/Jh645J4HH.php

After you are done, delete the file from the server for security reasons.

It will display the server settings.

You can also go in cPanel, Software/Services -> php configuration. It contains just a few of the php settings, but it contains the upload_max_filesize which you need to know (total of all upload fields, if more than one).

Re: File upload

These PHP configuration settings are customizable by the server administrator. --- I'm sorry but 'server admin' means VH. Right?
