Passing variables when using enctype="multip art/form-data">

[Steven K]

Hello,

I am using an asp page (upload.asp) to gather information and to upload
files to the web server using SoftArtisans SAUpload Tool. In the first page
(upload.asp), I have a form for gathering info with the following:

<form method="POST" action="upload_ ok.asp" name="frmUpload "
enctype="multip art/form-data">
<input type="hidden" name="cmdSearch " value="SearchVa lue">
<input type="hidden" name="cmdName" value="NameValu e">

The problem I am having is that when I use [
enctype="multip art/form-data" ], the second form (upload_ok.asp) , is not
picking up any of my form variables, or the first form (upload.asp) is not
sending them (cmdSearch or cmdName). If I remove the [
enctype="multip art/form-data" ] from the form in "upload.asp " then the
second form (upload_ok.asp) will get the variables.

Any help with this would be greatly appreciated...

What component are you using to handle the upload? That component should
have a form collection, and you can get the other form values from it. The
syntax will be determined by what component you're using. It will often be
something along the lines of:

Set yourUploadCompo nent = CreateObject("Y our.UploadCompo nentClassString ")
sFormValue = yourUploadCompo nent.Form.Item( "txtName").Valu e

or something like that. It should be covered in the documentation for your
component.

Looking in FileUp 5 docs, I see this:
When using an HTML form to upload files, the form submitting the file must
contain:

a.. The <form> tag attribute enctype="multip art/form-data".
b.. An <input type="file"> tag, including a name attribute.

Steven, I suspect that you're trying to use the ASP Request.Form
collection to access form variables. You can't do that when the
enctype is "multipart/form-data". To access form values use FileUp's
Form collection instead:

Instead of:

Request.Form("n ame")

Use:

FileUpObj.Form( "name")
