Passing File names between different files!!!
I have a form called which collects user data in a form in 'default.asp'. It has a link for a file 'upload.asp' where user can browse files from his local system. When the user clicks on ATTACH button, the file gets uploaded to the server in upload_response.asp. I am using AspUpload component to upload files. The user then fills some other details on the form. After the user is finished entering details, he clicks on submit. Then default_response.asp collects all the details from default.asp and emails all the details to one email id. Now the problem is: I have the file name which gets uploaded to the server in upload_response.asp. I want that file name to get stored in some variable in default.asp so that i can take that variable's value in default_response.asp, so that i can attach that file which the user has uploaded with the email which is being sent. I am not able to get the variable's value from upload_response.asp to default.asp Please help..... riteshjai***@gmail.com wrote:

I see you have checked now. The answer that was provided is this: Store the file name in the Session object, which is accessable by all asp pages which the user calls up in a session. Although comp.language.javascript is indeed the wrong group to post to, that answer still shows a perfect understanding of your problem from one of their contributors, because it is the correct answer. http://www.w3schools.com/asp/asp_sessions.asp -- Mike Brind But what if the user has disabled the cookies on his system??

Can you please elaborate on this?? How can i make use of this?? as far as i understood, you are trying to say that i should maintain one text file on the server. Then i can write the file name on that text file and then pick the file name from that text file to attach it with the mail. Is this what you are trying to say?? People, I am new to this Google groups and dont know how to use it effectively. Please dont mind if i do something wrong. Also i am a fresher in a job, so dont know too much about all these technical stuff. Please dont mind if sometime i posta foolish question. riteshjai***@gmail.com wrote:

[/snip] a flat text file as a temporary data store. You will need to use something like the ActiveX "Scripting.FileSystemObject" to create, access, write to and save the file. Further lines of research on this option are:- - Scripting.FileSystemObject - Server.CreateObject("Scriping.FileSystemObject") - to create an instance - Server.MapPath - to ensure that the correct file path is given - Ensuring that your server directories have appropriate read/write permissions (e.g. CHMOD for unix based systems). - Consider the likelihood of simultaneous access to the text file if two separate users want to write to it at the same time. Storing the file name in a database may be a better solution if this is likely to be the case. Regards Julian Turner

And thanks a lot to all the kind persons who took their time to answer my questions. (sometimes foolish i believe... Show quote :-) )  |
