Online Form with Document Upload

[hitmandk1985]

Hi all,

I was wondering if someone can give me some advice.

I'm trying to make an online form at the moment, but I want to include a document uploader aswell. So for instance, people can upload a .pdf file or .doc file to a location and then submit this to say an email address.

Does anyone know the best way of approaching this?

Many thanks

Any server side language will do it. PHP or ASP etc. Have a look at hotscripts - there are quite a few but be very careful as document uploading can be a massive security exploit if done wrong

So do you think I would be able to have a form where people can enter there information and upload a doc and have this information forward to an email?

Yup. I have done it with php before (albeit seperatelty but no reason it wouldn't work as one script). If using php try either a script called natemail or phpmailer. have used both in pas and they are easy to use. If i recall natemail is set to send a form by email. Phpmailer is a dman fine class taht makes sending mail dead easy so just attach it to your $_POST script

Don't forget the single most important thing:

enctype="multipart/form-data"

You need to put that in your opening <form tag or it won't recognise the file
