uploading images

[lagartixa2001]

I have to upload images via html into my FMP5 database.

I know the tag to upload is <form action="" METHOD=POST enctype="multipart/form-data">

<input type=file name=image>

</form>

but... what i have to do to insert the uploaded file to my database?:

This issue has been discussed several times quite recently. The general consensus is that Web Companion cannot handle uploading files into a FileMaker Pro database.

Files can be uploaded with another web server tool, but even then there is no automated way to import the image into the database unles some scripting language is used like AppleScript. I don't think anybody has got it working yet.

Having said that I have done it using FMP client (ie not using html) through the internet. It is slow and you need a copy of FMP on your machine to do it.

Thanks for answer my question....

Do you know the name of the server toll and language that you mentioned? And if possible... where can I get it?

I can't use the FMP Client because I've a lot of machines in diferent cities.

Sorry,. by "web server tool" I meant a "proper" web server application. Web Companion isn't a web server, it's an interface for FMp to the web.

Other people use Web Star or some other web server software by moving Web Companion onto port 591.
