    Upload Image with Forms

    Can anyone tell me when you add an upload button to a form, and someone uploads an image, where does it go? I want people to be able to send me images via a form, but when I tried it myself, the e-mail comes without the image. Is it possible to do this so that the image arrives attached to the e-mail, or do I need to use something other than a form?

    The file is uploaded on the "uploads" folder on your site, and then you can download it either using FTP or directly opening it in your browser (then saving it on your computer).

    In the email you SHOULD receive a link to the file or image.

    If you don't, you probably have not named the upload field properly.

      Brilliant, thanks. When I named the field it came through with a link, its easy when you know how!. Just another small question. Would anyone be able to upload something nasty via this method?

        Cerainly. This is wht the processor adds a randomly generated prefix to the file name, so the hacker will not be able to trace the file.
        It is your duty to look well at the file name, before clicking on it in the mail, to make sure that this is NOT a .php or .exe or .js file, or any other type of executable file that could harm the server and your computer.
