File Upload Question

[73pixieGirl]

Hello,
I understand there is a way to upload a file (an image is what I'm interested in uploading) via a web based form. What I would like to know is when the user submits the form and email is generated and sent to a person, does the image appear in the email, or just the path to that image? I would test this out on my own, but I do not have permission to access the file that generates the email (Unix, mail.sh file), and the group that does have permission to access the file aren't very quick with their support. A quick explanation of what becomes of the file that's uploaded and what the email will contain will be helpful to know if this is an option worth pursuing.
Thank you!

This isn't really a javascript question... It would be better to ask in the forum of the server side language you are using (asp, php, jsp, etc..)

kaht is definitely rigth, but I would bet for the file itself. Just sending the path is a different concept than uploading the file.

For example, I can tell you there's a picture of me in c:\pictures\pictureofme.jpg but I don't think that would be useful.


Cheers,
Dian

Thank you both for your reply. I would definitely want the image to appear instead of the path...like you said, the path to the picture wouldn't be very useful! :-D
