    Upload button question please help

    Hi all

    If I use an upload button, I put in my email address and the file uploads to uploads/my email address, and sends to my email address an email saying it has been done and that it is in the upload file

    Can I change it somehow so that the file can be uploaded direct to the file where I really want it

    Hope that is clear

    Hope you can help

    The upload button is for uploading FILES ie Text files, zips, images, pdf's, etc Only.
    If your just wanting to capture email address just use a text box set up for emails and have the form properties set to write to .csv file this will give you a file on your server with all the info that is submitted.

    if your hoping to set this up as a newsletter type of thing then thats a hole different kettle of fish, and will need a database and a lot more going ons'

      Thanks alien dude,

      Yes I want to upload videos and pictures from the web page to the site, but I want to be able to decide which folder they will end up in, rather than the uploads folder that is default

      Sorry I wasn't clear

        I don't think so. You would have to permit access to your computer from an outside source. Probably not a good idea.
