Multipage form with File upload

GreyHead 23 Mar, 2010
Hi Mark,

I don't see any form on the page you linked to.

Exactly what isn't working? Does the file upload correctly if you go directly to that page? What do you see if you have debug on?

Hi, I have a similar problem. I did built a multipage form (12 steps) and in 10 of the 12 forms have 10 uploads files.

Also I built a form mother. Everything works OK, but after traveling all, only keeps the text fields and does not save the file names.

Because there are many areas I had to build a database for each.

That's why I tried it with the following settings and none work:

1. Relate the mother form of all the databases so that everyone is saved in the end. (Not working) only saves the text fields.

2. Relationship databases for each of the forms and not linked the mother with either form. (This gives me an error).

3. Match each one of the forms with your database and linked the mother form with all databases. (This creates two entries in all databases, the first is correct with all information - files and texts, and the second containing only text).

Any idea how I can fix this problem?

Thank you very much, and sorry for my English (Google Translate)

Tito.

Hi Tito,

I'm not sure that I agree with some of this.

As far as I know, file names will be saved as long as there is a database column with a name that is the same as the file input name.

You don't need separate tables for each step, you can update the records in a single table at each step.

You do need to think through and plan the work flow for a multi-step form so that you don't end up saving unnecessary or duplicate records.

actually it doesn't seem to be like this.... each time i fill in a form that has an upload file input, when i check the table records, all fields are in the table EXCEPT the filename :\
