Question

Uploading file system required

I would like to be able to offer contributors to my site a way of uploading Word.docs or .pdf files and forwarding them to me by email. Obviously they can just send me an email with an attachment, but it would be neater, and more likely to happen I think, if it could be done from a "Browse", "Upload", "Send" form on the webpage.

Any suggestions as to how I can achieve this, please?

Well, if u are using PHP then u can use this thread HERE which I have discussed long time ago. In fact, you just need to modify the code to accept .doc and .pdf file only.

Thank you QiQi86, but I do not think I need to upload into a Database to achieve what I want.

I am looking around the various suggestions that been offered in the past.

I am using a rather old DWMX2004 and wonder if CS4 has the facility for setting up a simple uploader within its arsenal of faciliies?

Generally this is not a good idea.  Usually what is done is to have the file's path in the data base.  There is a lot of overhead when embedding a files in databases.
