Upload file

[WingMaker]

How can I upload a file into the filemaker DB?

I have this php code that give the user the option to choose the file, how can I get that file into a record in FM?

thanks

Strictly speaking you can't.

You can however upload somewhere onto the server and store the url to the file somewhere and potentially use something like troi URL to periodically pull the files into containers, or super container to access the files directly.

There are a couple of server plugins, particularly there used to be one from FMWebschool, that would allow you to upload data to containers correctly but 2 issues with that:

1) It's insecure when it comes to shared hosting so hosting provider's won't let you use it.

2) It may have been discontinued
