Set Container Field Data with FX.php

[Chuck]

Part of the web site I'm developing allows users to upload images. I've got this working so that the images are uploaded and moved to a known directory on within the web server's directory (uploads). I've been trying to figure out how to get this uploaded file into a container field in FileMaker 7. Using AddDBParam with the URL of the file isn't working.

How can I get the image into a container field?

Thanks,

Chuck

You could run a Script which uses AppleScript to load the image into a Container field.

Good Luck.

Well, if I had control over the fact that this is currently being run on a Windows server, I would do exactly that. But it seems like there should be a cross-platform solution that works regardless. Perhaps in the future when the client allows me to install a server at their location, and I can select a Mac, that will work, but right now I'm demoing the software on a Windows server.

Thanks,

You can try VBScript

I think there is an imageimport plugin for filemaker that works for this purpose. Can't remember the name, but a year ago or so I used the demo and it worked.
