I have the file uploading working ...

Inside dialog setup:

Code: Select all  Expand view

?'<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  Expand view

<?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  Expand view

?'<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  Expand view

MsgInfo(file.value)

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

Code: Select all  Expand view

'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.

Sorry, I misunderstood your question.

Ok, try to remove name="file".

EMG

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

So remove id="file" and use something like

Code: Select all  Expand view

$_POST[ "File" ]

(PHP)

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.

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  Expand view

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

Then with a button in my dialog do something like:

Code: Select all  Expand view

@ 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  Expand view

'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

ops, sorry, thats not the problem

Please try with:

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

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.

... 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

Jeff,

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

Have you tried it ?
