What I did once to get around it, was I had a MySQL database run with php.
Form with caption entry - submit - then 'want to upload a file?  Click
here.' - file uploaded + filename added to the database in the particular
record.

Onderwerp: Uploading files and variables


Hi everyone,

I am sending this again because I did not get any response the first time, 
so am hoping someone might have some idea for me.



I am attempting to do a page that allows me to upload a jpg file using a 
perl routine called upload.pl I got on the net.

It works great, however, along with the file, I want to upload a caption 
for the photo and that is where I am having problems.

I am using the form below to upload the name file FILE1. I also want to get 
a caption for the photo and thought I could simply place another INPUT 
field called "caption", but I can't seem to get this going. The caption 
field never makes it. I assume it is due to the ENCTYPE of this form, but 
don't know how to resolve this other than to have two forms.

Any suggestions?

<.FORM METHOD="POST" ACTION="../cgi-bin/uploadphoto.pl" 
ENCTYPE="multipart/form-data">
         <BR>
         <.INPUT TYPE="FILE" NAME="FILE1">
         <BR>
         <.INPUT type="text" name="caption" size="50">
         Caption<br>
<br>
<CENTER><.INPUT TYPE="SUBMIT" VALUE="Upload Photo!"></CENTER>
<./FORM


Thanks

Nate
