Question

CFFile action="uploadall" question

I am doing a cffile uploadall process and I want to return a list/array of filenames uploaded.  It doesn't seem like it should be too hard - should it?

Thanks.

    Take a look at the CF documentation.  It states: After a file upload is completed, this tag creates an array of structures specified by the result parameter. Each structure in the array contains upload result information for one file. For information on the result structure contents, see cffile action = "upload".

      Here's my code:

      Upload page -

      <cffileupload
      hideuploadbutton="no"
      progressbar= "no"
      stoponerror="yes"
      title="Upload Closeout Pictures"
      url="process.cfm?pro_num=#pro_num#&type=#urlencodedformat(form.type)#"
      wmode="transparent"
      maxfileselect=6 />

      <cfif isDefined("myImage.serverfile")>
            wow
      <cfelse>
            hey
      </cfif>

      Processing page -

      <cffile
      action="uploadall"
      destination="#path#"
      nameconflict="overwrite"
      result="myImage" />

      I get nothing in the myImage variable.

      Upload.cfm

                      <cffileupload

                      hideuploadbutton="no"

                      progressbar= "no"

                      stoponerror="yes"

                      title="Upload Closeout Pictures"

                      url="process.cfm?pro_num=#pro_num#&type=#urlencodedformat(type)#"

                      wmode="transparent"

                      maxfileselect=6 />

      Process.cfm

                      <cfset path = #file_path# & "\" & #url.pro_num# >

                      <cffile

                      action="uploadall"

                      destination="#path#"

                      nameconflict="overwrite"

                      result="uploadedFiles" />

                      <!--- iterate over uploadedFiles result array and perform an insert for each record --->

                      <cfif IsDefined("uploadedFiles") and IsArray(uploadedFiles) and ArrayLen(uploadedFiles) gt 0>

                      <cfloop from="1" to="#ArrayLen(uploadedFiles)#" index="idx">

                                      <cfset name = "pic" & idx>

                                      <cfquery name="insertFileRecord" datasource="#application.dsn#">

                                                      update closeout set #name# = '#uploadedFiles[idx].serverfile#'

                                                     where pro_num = '#url.pro_num#' and type = '#url.type#'

                                      </cfquery>

                      </cfloop>

                      </cfif>


      Since uploadall acts asynchronously a separate call to process.cfm might be made for each file uploaded. This would result in the name variable being equal to "pic1" for every file uploaded.
