[Pro] Feedback forms with attachments

Dear community,

I’ve successfully created a form before, but this time around a client is asking to have the ability to add attachments too.

Can this be easily achieved?

I.e. fields like name, address, location etc, and then the option to add a picture of yourself.

Thanks in advance.

Kindest regards,

Mark

Take a look at FormsToGo (paid product) which can create form handlers for file uploads. Realize though that despite the cheery tone of the FTG manual, allowing this – particularly on a shared hosting server – is an enormous security hole in the making. Also be certain to send the files through a strong mail server with robust malware detection. People love to send way more than photos through such a form.

Thanks Walt, I’ll have a look at that now.

Thanks also for the heads up on the unwanted files, it’s a dastardly world out there on the wild web isn’t it.

Out of interest, is there a way to do this with Freeway Forms?

Not easily or safely and not using the PHPFF action.

An alternative is to use a service like WuFoo http://www.wufoo.com/

If your client wants this feature then get him to pay for it and let WuFoo handle the security aspect. 500 entries a month for $15

Jotform.com has an attachment feature and saves the files on Amazons servers.
