Hi,

I'm having an issue understanding completely how to handle the file names fields...I have 2 on the form. I want to only allow 2 files for each form...sometimes there may be only 1 attachment.

On my form I have the following:

Code:

<tr>
    <td>File 1: <input name="attach1" type="file" size=35><br></td>
    <td>File 2: <input name="attach2" type="file" size=35><br>
    </td>
    </tr>

Here is where the problem is.....
1) If I select 1 file to attach and submit the form, it gets uploaded to the server correctly but its filename gets added to the database fields (file1 & file2) instead of just file1.
2) So I tested to see what happens when I select 2 files to attach, well, it uploads bot the server just fine, but it only inserts the 2nd filename selected in both fields (file1 & file2).

Code:

Code:

function SaveFiles
    Dim Upload, fileName, fileSize, ks, i, fileKey

    Set Upload = New FreeASPUpload
    Upload.Save(uploadsDirVar)
	strOriginator = Upload.Form("Originator")
	strEQNumber = Upload.Form("EquipmentNumber")
	strPartNo = Upload.Form("PartNo")
	strEQDesc = Upload.Form("EquipDescription")
	strFuncLoc = Upload.Form("NCRFuncLoc")
	strNCRStatus = Upload.Form("NCRStatus")
	strDispStatement = Upload.Form("Comments")
	


for each fileKey in Upload.UploadedFiles.keys
	strFile1 = Upload.UploadedFiles(fileKey).FileName
	strFile2 = Upload.UploadedFiles(fileKey).FileName
	
next
if strFile <> "" then
	set oFSO = Server.CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
	if oFSO.FileExists(uploadsDirVar & "/" & strFile) then
		oFSO.MoveFile uploadsDirVar & "\" & strFile, Server.MapPath("/Files") & "\" & strFile
	end if
	set oFSO = nothing
end if

Set rs = Server.CreateObject ("ADODB.Recordset")
strSQL = "Insert into tblTestNCR (Originator,Equipment,ManPartNo,EQDescription,District,Status,DiscStatement,File1,File2) values ('" & strOriginator & "','" & strEQNumber & "', '" & strPartNo & "', '" & strEQDesc & "', '" & strFuncLoc & "', '" & strNCRStatus & "', '" & strDispStatement & "', '" & strFile1 & "','" & strFile2 & "')"
rs.Open strSQL, conn,3,1
Conn.Close
Set Conn = Nothing	


	' If something fails inside the script, but the exception is handled
	If Err.Number<>0 then Exit function

    SaveFiles = ""
    ks = Upload.UploadedFiles.keys
    if (UBound(ks) <> -1) then
        SaveFiles = "<B>Files uploaded:</B> "
        for each fileKey in Upload.UploadedFiles.keys
            SaveFiles = SaveFiles & Upload.UploadedFiles(fileKey).FileName & " (" & Upload.UploadedFiles(fileKey).Length & "B) "
        next
    else
        SaveFiles = "The file name specified in the upload form does not correspond to a valid file in the system."
    end if
end function

Thanks for your help!

You are setting the variables strfile1 and strfile2 to the same value because they're inside a loop

Code:

for each fileKey in Upload.UploadedFiles.keys
    strFile1 = Upload.UploadedFiles(fileKey).FileName
    strFile2 = Upload.UploadedFiles(fileKey).FileName
next

I'm not sure exactly how FreeASPUpload works but you need to grab the filenames exclusively. Something like:-

Code:

strFile1 = Upload.UploadedFiles(0).FileName
strFile2 = Upload.UploadedFiles(1).FileName

I think you can then check the filename values.

Code:

if strFile1 = "" then
   don't save in db
else
   save in db
end if

Hope that helps.

as RR said, you're putting the files into both arrays, and you would overwrite them with the second file. try putting them into a comma delimited string. something like this:

Code:

for each fileKey in Upload.UploadedFiles.keys
	strFile1 = strFile1 & Upload.UploadedFiles(fileKey).FileName & ","
next
strFile1 = left(strFile1,len(strFile1)-1) 'this will remove the trailing comma

then to insert, do this:

Code:

Set rs = Server.CreateObject ("ADODB.Recordset")
if inStr(strFile1,",") > 0 then
     arrFile = split(strFile1,",")
     blnArray = 1
end if
if blnArray = 1 then
     strSQL = "Insert into tblTestNCR (Originator,Equipment,ManPartNo,EQDescription,District,Status,DiscStatement,File1,File2) values ('" & strOriginator & "','" & strEQNumber & "', '" & strPartNo & "', '" & strEQDesc & "', '" & strFuncLoc & "', '" & strNCRStatus & "', '" & strDispStatement & "', '" & arrFile(0) & "','" & arrFile(1) & "')"
else
     strSQL = "Insert into tblTestNCR (Originator,Equipment,ManPartNo,EQDescription,District,Status,DiscStatement,File1,File2) values ('" & strOriginator & "','" & strEQNumber & "', '" & strPartNo & "', '" & strEQDesc & "', '" & strFuncLoc & "', '" & strNCRStatus & "', '" & strDispStatement & "', '" & strFile1 & "','')"
end if
rs.Open strSQL, conn,3,1

The sql insert was working...but i needed to handle something on my form to take care of if someone does not want to upload a file....it should just leave the file1 & file2 fields blank. So I added the if statement in blue and it works...but now if I do choose to upload a file, it uploads the file but its not writing the filename to the database.

it inserts all the other fields on the form and uploads the file to the server but just not inserting the filename(s) to file1 & file2 fields. do you see why the lines in blue would break code to insert the filename?

Code:

if fileKey <> "" then	
for each fileKey in Upload.UploadedFiles.keys
strFile1 = strFile1 & Upload.UploadedFiles(fileKey).FileName & ","
next
strFile1 = left(strFile1,len(strFile1)-1) 'this will remove the trailing comma
end if


if strFile <> "" then
	set oFSO = Server.CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
	if oFSO.FileExists(uploadsDirVar & "/" & strFile) then
		oFSO.MoveFile uploadsDirVar & "\" & strFile, Server.MapPath("/Files") & "\" & strFile
	end if
	set oFSO = nothing
end if

THIS WAY WORKS:

Code:

for each fileKey in Upload.UploadedFiles.keys
	strFile1 = strFile1 & Upload.UploadedFiles(fileKey).FileName & ","
next
if FileName <> "" then	
	strFile1 = left(strFile1,len(strFile1)-1) 'this will remove the trailing comma
end if
