cffile multiple upload problem

[vanhalen]

I'm having trouble uploading multiple image files to my server, and here's my hangup. I have the following on my
1st page:

<cfform action=&quot;thanks-test.cfm&quot; method=&quot;post&quot; enctype=&quot;multipart/form-data&quot;>
<input type=&quot;file&quot; size=&quot;25&quot; name=&quot;pic1&quot;><br>
<input type=&quot;file&quot; size=&quot;25&quot; name=&quot;pic2&quot;><br>
<input type=&quot;file&quot; size=&quot;25&quot; name=&quot;pic3&quot;><br>
<input type=&quot;file&quot; size=&quot;25&quot; name=&quot;pic4&quot;><br>
<input type=&quot;file&quot; size=&quot;25&quot; name=&quot;pic5&quot;>
<p>
<input type=&quot;submit&quot; name=&quot;submit&quot; value=&quot;Submit&quot;>
</cfform>

Pretty basic, right? Well, this is my code on the following page for the 1st image (the other 4 images are the same):

<cfif #form.pic1# is not &quot;&quot;>
<cffile destination=&quot;PATH&quot; action=&quot;upload&quot; nameconflict=&quot;overwrite&quot; filefield=&quot;pic1&quot;>
</cfif>

Also basic. Say for example I upload 1 image and leave the other 4 blank. This works fine on every browser except for IE 5.1 on the Mac. Apparently, when the files are uploaded to the server, they are assigned a temporary name. Well, IE on the Mac is the only browser that thinks the temporary name is a file name. &quot;pic2&quot; therefore passes the validation and tries to upload a blank field even if nothing has been entered. Does this make sense?!?! What else can I do to make sure this works? Thanks.

Can you try to use Evaluate() function on the form fields?

Example:
<cfif Evaluate(&quot;Form.pic1&quot is &quot;&quot;>
<!--- do nothing --->
<cfelse>
do your uploading
</cfif>

You can do it in a loop, so that it's more need and tidy.

Good Luck.
