Uploading files using SC with CWP

[Gary Hoffman]

I'm working on a FileMaker custom web publishing application based on PHP and FX and I want to use SuperContainer to upload files from a web browser. The PHP classes provided with SuperContainer seem to have what I need, but the examples in the documentation do not show how to make an upload button/window/portal.

Would someone share code from a working installation similar to the file upload facility on 360Works site at http://360works.com/upload/uploader

?

Thanks,

Gary

Well, I answered my own question. I don't need the PHP class at all. A well crafted URL will load the Java upload window which will do the job just fine. Please cancel previous fortune cookie.

Ok, it may look like I'm having a conversation with myself, but I'm just evolving my understanding of deploying SuperContainer in a custom web programming environment.

Using the URL runs the Java applet which is great and works well, *unless* someone is blocking Java or can't see an iframe tag (old browser). So I still have a need to be able to upload a file using straight PHP programming links after browsing for it.

Can't I have it both ways?

The PHP class included with SuperContainer is intended for use with your own PHP file upload page. Once the file has been uploaded from the user's browser to your server, you can use the SuperContainer PHP class to easily move that file to SuperContainer.
