Upload Your Picture : C:\Users\Guest 1\Pictures\fishermanken\Sunset.gif
Button1 : Submit


I have a form on my http://www.casadelasprismas/guests.php
that asks the guest to send a picture from their trip to the website with
comments.
You can fill out the form and the "browse" button uploads the dos path
for the photo, and the "submit" button sends the email, and the "sucess"
page appears.

I have changed the form so many times and watched the tutorial I am getting cross eyed. I have bee using the following for testing as it sends to my email instead of the customers. Thanks.

Problem is that the email when received does not have the attachment
of the picture. It shows the "dos" path only.

sorry, my test page is http://www.casadelasprismas.net/gueststest.php
sorry for the error.
Appreciate your help!!

Try renaming the file upload field in simply "file_upload" or "Image" or anything without whitespaces, and let me know

Hi Navel,
I renamed the file upload field with upload_your_picture and then sent
another test picture to myself.....

Without entering your account and having your form, i can't say anything more. if you wish, send me your login details and your .bvp page and i will have a look.

Thanks Naval, I just sent you an offline email with the login.....
oops, forgot the page....
I will resend with the .pvp page
Thank you so very much,
Pat

Hi Pat
I hesitated to interrupt this thread, because Naval is the man for form answers! But, it has been awhile since he responded, so he is either very busy or maybe in his part of the world it is sleep time! LOL!

Anyway, here is something that I picked up from the form wizard tutorial.
It said that for file uploads you should choose "multipart/form-data" for the "encoding type" in the form properties. You might give that a try, because I see from the page form coding you used the default encoding.
I'm sure Naval will solve your problem soon; if that doesn't work.

This is the reason it doesn upload images. However, Pat had also associated events to the reset and submit buttons, that prevented it from working. It is fixed now.

Thanks for thinking of me, Dave... I appreciate that. Yes, Naval fixed it .... I had just played around with so many things tring to get it to work... I shot myself in the foot, so to speak....
Si, Naval is King !!!
Thanks again Naval...... it is working !
