Cep Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 That doesn't really make any sense. Form data always goes to your webserver, what you do with it at that stage is up to you. Do you actually have a script that you are using? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amites Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 as in upload the file to your server instead of emailing it? try hitting google for "php upload file" should give you some good pointers to get started, not too complicated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cep Posted April 16, 2008 Share Posted April 16, 2008 Yes that is possible, as I said once you get the form data, PHP can do with it pretty much whatever you like. Currently you must have a script that is taking the information and attaching it to an email, this can be changed or replaced entirely to do something different. Upload scripts as Amites said are very common so searching google or visiting hotscripts.com would be a good start. Otherwise you can post your Form and let people here show you how to make one for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lisa33 Posted April 16, 2008 Author Share Posted April 16, 2008 Thank you so much! the upload is currently working, but I would like to add more fields, such as an email and comment box. I would also love to have a progress bar.. because it seems to take a very long time to upload video, I dont want clients to think the site crashed or is not working... the link is: http://globaltechstudios.com/upload.php Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
