Urgent not recognizing cfif

[izachar]

I am using this code
<CFSET thisPath= ExpandPath(&quot;*.*&quot>
<CFSET imgDirectory= GetDirectoryFromPath(thisPath)>

<CFIF IsDefined(&quot;FORM.p_picture&quot>
<CFTRY>
<!--- Upoad File --->
<CFFILE ACTION=&quot;UPLOAD&quot;
FILEFIELD=&quot;FORM.p_picture&quot;
DESTINATION=&quot;#imgDirectory#&quot;
NAMECONFLICT=&quot;Overwrite&quot;
ACCEPT=&quot;image/pjpeg,image/jpeg,image/gif&quot;>

<!--- Rename Img --->
<CFFILE ACTION=&quot;RENAME&quot;
SOURCE=&quot;#CFFILE.ServerDirectory#\#CFFILE.ServerFile#&quot;
DESTINATION=&quot;#CFFILE.ServerDirectory#\pictures\pic#p_id#.#CFFILE.ServerFileExt#&quot;>
<cfset picture=&quot;pic#p_id#.#CFFILE.ServerFileExt#&quot;>

<!--- Catch error, if it's not a jpg or gif file --->
<CFCATCH TYPE=&quot;Any&quot;>
I'm sorry, you must upload a .gif or .jpg file.
</CFCATCH>
</CFTRY>
</CFIF>
</cfoutput>

and if I do not send anything through the form it does not apply the isdefined condition hence giving me an error.
Users might want to update just the name without having to upload the picture again. How can I tell the upload and the query to ignor the field if it is not there?????

Do you have the form attribute 'enctype=&quot;multipart/form-data&quot;' in your form, as

<form action=&quot;...&quot; enctype=&quot;multipart/form-data&quot; method=&quot;POST&quot;>

if p_picture is the name of the file input tag, try using it without &quot;form&quot;, e.g.:

<CFIF IsDefined(&quot;p_picture&quot>


in my application, I have solve this problem using evaluate function:

<cfif Evaluate(&quot;#p_picture#&quot EQ &quot;&quot;>

I tried both solutions and they did not work. If nothing is inputed isn't the value of p_picture=&quot;&quot; ? So I tries IsDefined(&quot;p_picture&quot neq &quot;&quot; but it still did not work. Any idea????

 

[calista]

If I remember correctly, if there is no input, the form variable is not defined. If you want to test for it, just use IsDefined(&quot;p_picture&quot or NOT IsDefined(&quot;p_picture&quot. I usually try to avoid negative logic, but sometimes it's the simplest way. Calista :-X

Coding:
<CFIF IsDefined(&quot;FORM.p_picture&quot;) NEQ &quot;&quot;>

is really coding:
<CFIF YES NEQ &quot;&quot;>
or
<CFIF No NEQ &quot;&quot;>

Which will always result to TRUE.

You need to do it this way:
<CFIF IsDefined(&quot;FORM.p_picture&quot;) AND FORM.p_picture NEQ &quot;&quot;> - tleish

The error is in the query not in the upload. But I know it is running through the code since the cfcatch gets triggered.

why don't u use cfparam to save the default as &quot;&quot;,

<cfparam name=&quot;file&quot; default=&quot;&quot;>

 

[izachar]

I used <CFIF IsDefined(&quot;FORM.p_picture&quot AND FORM.p_picture NEQ &quot;&quot;> it worked I just needed to pull those fileds from the db and if they were not defined to reuse the existing info so it does not get erased when it does the update.

Thank you all for your help
