no upload without errors

How to fix ChronoForms file uploads that fail without errors.

Overview

The issue occurs when the form method is incorrectly set to POST instead of FILE in the HTML action settings.
Change the form method to FILE in the HTML action settings of your CF form to enable successful file uploads.

Hello,

I'm trying to setup a form including uploads (mailed as attachments). Even hours after reading the FAQ and similar forum posts, checking everything twice and tribble, I'm not able to find any installation errors. The debugger isn't telling something about it ...

The form: http://s332927009.online.de/j25/kontaktanfrage

Please keep the "Upload path" field empty and test the form!

You can also post the debugger output which should show some info!

I had tried the free upload path before and changed it back now, but it still doesn't work. The debugger shows no error:

I even had a look to info.php and uploads are allowed from server side. Having no clue ...

This is weird, did you change the "Form method" under the "HTML" action settings ? it should be set to "File" by default!

Thank you very much - this was exectly the mistake. It was set to "post". I did not change it on purpose. Could it be an explanation that I set up the form first of all including everything but no file upload, adding this later on?

Maybe it would be helpful to add "please check form method - set to file" to the FAQ.

thank you!

Hi KD24,

It should be File by default, so it was changed somehow!🙂
