how to get the full path of a file

To upload multiple files (example is for 3), try something like this.

== Form section ==

There would be three(3) file form fields for the selection of a file/document to upload, which

each being uniquely named.

<div style="clear: both;">

<cfinput type="file" name="upload_01" dir="ltr" lang="en" size="70" xml:lang="en">

</div>

<div style="clear: both;">

<cfinput type="file" name="upload_02" dir="ltr" lang="en" size="70" xml:lang="en">

</div>

<div style="clear: both;">

<cfinput type="file" name="upload_03" dir="ltr" lang="en" size="70" xml:lang="en">

</div>

== Processing section ==

Checks to see if any files / documents were selected for upload. If none were, then

displays an alert indicating as such. If at least one file/document was selected, then

the process would process the upload.

<cfif isdefined('form.upload_01') and trim(form.upload_01) eq "" and

isdefined('form.upload_02') and trim(form.upload_02) eq "" and

isdefined('form.upload_03') and trim(form.upload_03) eq ""

>

    <p>Did not select any files to upload</p>

<cfelse>

    <cfif isdefined('form.upload_01') and trim(form.upload_01) neq "">

    </cfif>

    <cflocation url="completed.cfm" addtoken="no">

</cfif>

== Completed section ==

Can confirm to the person what files were actually uploaded, by displaying file name and file extension.

You can you use the file extension information to display a respective icon for the file type.

<cfoutput>

<cfif isdefined('cookie.upload_01_doc')>

01. #cookie.upload_01_doc# - #cookie.upload_01_doc_ext#<br /></cfif>

<cfif isdefined('cookie.upload_02_doc')>

02. #cookie.upload_02_doc# - #cookie.upload_02_doc_ext#<br /></cfif>

<cfif isdefined('cookie.upload_03_doc')>

03. #cookie.upload_03_doc# - #cookie.upload_03_doc_ext#<br /></cfif>

</cfoutput>

The full path of the file on their computer? No there is no way of getting that.
