cfimage variable

[Hulfy]

I am trying to get info for my uploaded variable. Live docs tells me that source can be

source = "absolute pathname|pathname relative to the web root|URL|#cfimage variable#"

How do I set
my uploaded file to  a #cfimage variable#?

Below is what I have but does not work.

<cffile action="upload" nameconflict="overwrite" destination="#ExpandPath("./images")#"
filefield="FORM.uploadImage" result="myFile" />

<cfimage action = "info" source = "#myFile#" structname = "myFile3"

The result #myFile# is a structure of information about the uploaded file, not a string.  You need to use some of the values in that structure.  Read the documentation on cffile for a list of the structure contents.

Not helped me still struggling to create a cfimage variable that points to the file.

Thanks

The following file upload status parameters are available after an upload:

resultName.serverDirectory - Directory of the file saved on the server
resultName.serverFile - Filename of the file saved on the server

ie

#myFile.serverDirectory#

#myFile.serverFile#

You use those values to construct the file path for cfimage

Hulfy, did you get this working? What (I think) cfsearching is saying (and from what I understand you need to do) simply name your variable to the upload parameter as such:

<cffile destination="#ExpandPath("./images")#" action="upload" nameconflict="overwrite" filefield="#uploadimage#">

<cfset myFile3 = "#myFile.serverFile#">

[ perform any actions such as resizing etc ]

<img src="images/#myFile3#">
