UPLOADING MULTIPLE FILES AND DATA AT THE SAME TIME

[kingjjx]

how do i upload multiple files and data at the same time ??
such as:

name:
car:
picture: [browse] <- button to browse for file on local drive

name:
car:
picture: [browse]

[submit] [cancel]

Do you mean how you get that information to display from a database, or do you mean how do you upload the choices made to a database?

i mean to display from a database becasue the name and car data is stored in a database and the images are stored in a directory folder, is there anyway to link the 2 together ?

thank you

You should put the image file names in the database, then you can point to the file names using <img src=&quot;#picturepathandname#&quot; when you output each car.

but the quesion was how to upload multiple files at the same time right?

what I usually do, is give each &quot;file&quot; field a different name &quot;car1, car2, car3, etc...&quot; and process each one manually.

<cfif #car1# NEQ &quot;&quot;>
<cffile action=&quot;upload&quot; filefield=&quot;car1&quot; accept=&quot;image/*&quot; destination=&quot;/your_images_dir&quot; nameconflict=&quot;MakeUnique&quot;>
<cfset car1_filename = #File.ServerFile#>
</cfif>

<cfif #car2# NEQ &quot;&quot;>
<cffile action=&quot;upload&quot; filefield=&quot;car2&quot; accept=&quot;image/*&quot; destination=&quot;/your_images_dir&quot; nameconflict=&quot;MakeUnique&quot;>
<cfset car2_filename = #File.ServerFile#>
</cfif>


do that for each one and you'll have all of your filenames, then input them into your database.
