Allowing file attachment with forms

Does anyone know if I can create a form that will allow the user to attach an excel spreadsheet along with the form. I don't need it to do anything fancy, just drop it into a folder on the machine running web companion.

Also, does anyone know where i can get info about the standards that the web server supports, such as SSI? Thanks!

You will need to use another webserver technology to upload files. PHP is a very good way of doing this. Some examples exist in the forums; do a search on "uploads".

I don't know if any documents exist about WebCompanion except the "CDML Reference" database and a few minor ones on the FM web-site. However, it does not support SSI etc, it does have [FMP-Include] and CDML equivalents.

You can have WebCompanion work in conjunction with Apache and IIS by using PHP or ASP to create the "links" with the database. You will see a couple of very early posts in the PHP forum about this.

All the best.

Just a quick note on this old post...

I was wondering if the FM plugin Uploadit would work?

As far as their demo fairs, it seems that you could use it to upload files from withing custome web publishing solutions.
