Help with upload to email

[eduardoribeiro]

I have another question, that I already had posted in here, but no one answer me  :'(.

 

I have a form that should be fill out be users and the form has a field to upload a file to the server, I have the upload code. Next the form should be processed to be sended by mail, to an email address. I have that code too.

 

What I need to know is the best way to do that, and how do I retrieve the file name information?

 

1) Should the user, first upload the file and then, when I already have the file in the server, ask the user to fill out the form;

 

2) Can I make the two things "in one" and submit the form with the file already uploaded to the email script?

 

3) There is a method to submit the form only to upload the file, and after that submit all form?

 

4) How can I retrieve the name of the file?

 

Thank you for your help.

1) Should the user, first upload the file and then, when I already have the file in the server, ask the user to fill out the form;

You should have some sort of abstraction. Maybe just an inline frame. Just something where they won't have to fill out everything over again if the upload fails.

 

 

2) Can I make the two things "in one" and submit the form with the file already uploaded to the email script?

Emailing is a trivial thing in PHP. You can do it anytime, anywhere in your script. It's just one function (mail()).

 

3) There is a method to submit the form only to upload the file, and after that submit all form?

Ajax, inline frame, flash... Not really a PHP question.

 

4) How can I retrieve the name of the file?
