Subject: Uploading a file with CFFILE
I have a form that asks for the file with a <input name="FileName" size=30
type="FILE">
I would like to be able to compare the file name to a database value in my
action page before using <CFFILE> to upload it. This way if the file is
being overwritten i give the user one last chance to do this.
<cfif #Query.FileName# IS NOT #FORM.filename#>
Are you sure you want to overwrite this file?
Yes/No
<cfelse>
Write the file and update the database
</cfif>
The only problem is when you use <input name="FileName" size=30
type="FILE"> the file name being passed is not the actual name of the
file. It is something like FILENAME=C:\WINNT\ACF12E.tmp.
So my CFIF statement always says that the file names dont match....
Is there any way to get my <input name="FileName" size=30 type="FILE"> to
pass the real name of the file????
