Creating an upload and a receive page

nordine5 · nordine5

I would like to create an Dreamweaver upload page for my website to allow users
to upload files. It doesn't have to be a complex one; I just need the page to
have one upload field with a browse option and a field for the name, email,
etc. After the user uploads the file and click send, I would like the file to
either go to a receive page, or to a database; I am currently using Access.

I know Dreamweaver allows you to create an upload page, but the problem is
that I don't know how to do the rest such as making the whole thing work. I
have found dozens of sites that provide codes to create an upload page and
receive page, unfortunately, they don't explain it in layman's terms. I would
appreciate it if someone has a step by step way to create this; including how
to configure my database to receive the uploaded file.

Thanks

with DW you create the form for the user to select the files. for
uploading them to the server, you'll need some additional stuff that
will depend on the server model you choose (ASP, PHP, JSP, ...) and your
DB. so, explain it and surely somebody will help you

BTW, if your files are binary ones like images, i'd stored them in a
folder and put just the names in the DB

HTH,

Manuel

Here is what I have done so far:

I have created two asp files; one called upload.asp, the other
upload_handling.asp. The upload page is simple and only has the name field and
upload field along with a browse and upload button; In the upload_handling page
I copied the code from the following pure ASP page
[url]http://www.asp101.com/articles/jacob/scriptupload.asp;[/url]
however, I am not sure if I did it correctly.
Do I need to create a table in my database to receive the files uploaded? do I
need to create a recordset? Do I need to put any fields in the upload_handling
page? right now the upload_handling page seems empty except for the code.

PS: Note that I have not done any changes to the code from the ASP page.

So many questions.

I am including the code for each of the pages I created maybe spmeone can take
a look at them and tell me what areas need to be changed or if new things need
to be added. I am particularly confused about those part of the code I need to
change to fit my own connection.

Here is the code for the upload.asp page:

Begin code
================================================== ======
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<%@LANGUAGE="VBSCRIPT" CODEPAGE="1252"%>
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<title>Untitled Document</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" />
</head>

<body>
<form name="form1" id="form1" enctype="multipart/form-data" method="post"
action="">
<p>Enter your name and select a file to upload.</p>
<p>
<input type="text" name="textfield" />
</p>

<p>
<input type="file" name="file" />
</p>
<p>
<input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Upload" />
</p>
</form>
</body>
================================================== =======
End code for upload.asp

Here is the code for the upload_handling.asp page:

Begin code
================================================== =======
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>

<title>Untitled Document</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" />
</head>

<body>
<%
Dim MyUploader
Set MyUploader = New FileUploader
%>
<%
MyUploader.Upload()
%>
<%
Dim File
For Each File In MyUploader.Files.Items
Response.Write "File Name:" & File.FileName
Response.Write "File Size:" & File.FileSize
Response.Write "File Type:" & File.ContentType
Next
%>
<%
Dim RS
Dim File

Set RS = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Recordset")
RS.Open "MyUploadTable", "CONNECT STRING OR ADO.Connection", 2, 2

For Each File In MyUploader.Files.Items
RS.AddNew

RS("filename") = File.FileName
RS("filesize") = File.FileSize
RS("contenttype") = File.ContentType

File.SaveToDatabase RS("filedata")

RS.Update
Next

RS.Close
%>

</body>
</html>
================================================== ========
End code for upload_handling.asp

Thanks for all the help provided
