I have a problem for getting a filename from File upload in chronoform.I need a file name for storing a name into DB. But i cann't get a filename from file upload field.
I use simple program for displaying values of filename . Before that, a filename could be empty value. I Give a sample code for my form below.


<label class="cf_label" style="width: 150px;">NAme</label>
<input class="cf_inputbox" maxlength="150" size="30" title="" id="text_0" name="text1" type="text" />

<label class="cf_label" style="width: 150px;">FILE</label>
<input class="cf_fileinput cf_inputbox" title="" size="20" id="file_1" name="file1" type="file" />

<input value="Submit" name="button_2" type="submit" />


Phe PHP code for display file name is....


<?php
echo "<br/> <strong> Result is </strong>";
echo "<br/> Name : ".$_POST['text1'];
echo "<br/> FILE : ".$_POST['file1'];
?>

After submitting a form, i could get the following.

Result is
Name : sdsdsd
FILE :

Here, The filename could be empty. So pls provide a solution for this.

Hi tamizhiniyan,

In ChronoForms v3 the file name is available from this code

<?php
$form_id = $MyForm->formrow->id;
$MyUploads =& CFUploads::getInstance($form_id);
$file1_name = $MyUploads->attachments['file1'];
?>

You can add this to the form data for the DB Connection with the extre line

JRequest::setVar('file1_name', $file1_name);
