[Pro] Uploading Attachments

Freeway
1

I have created a PHP feedback form but would like to have a button that will allow users to send attachments (such as photos).

Is there an Action or a procedure within Freeway that will accomplish this?

Thanks.

Photos, viruses, server cracks, the works…
Seriously, think through the possible downsides as well as the upsides.

There’s no action for this sort of thing as it requires moderately
serious and server-specific scripting work. This isn’t something I’ve
tried much at all, but Walter or one of the other more active script
heroes could probably give you more details.

Not directly with the PHP Feedback Form action. I’ve come very close
to releasing a version of the action a that handles file uploads but
haven’t as yet simply because of the security implications involved
with letting users uploading files onto your server. That and the fact
that I don’t like people shouting at me if there server is hacked! :slight_smile:
I would suggest getting hold of Forms to Go from BeBoSoft (http://www.bebosoft.com/products/formstogo/overview
) and letting that create the required code for you. There is even a
great tutorial on the Softpress site that Paul put together showing
how to use the application with Freeway;

Thanks, Tim. I’ll look more closely into Forms-To-Go.

I suppose I could just create a mailto: link but it wouldn’t be as elegant.
