Upload issues

[spacehog]

Okay this is driving me nuts. I haven't had to do file uploads (using cffile) in several years that I have forgotten how I accomplished this before.

Currently I have a form in a subfolder called "fails" which is directly under my root (wwwroot/fails). All I want to do is send any files uploaded to a subfolder called "data" (wwwroot/fails/data). I know I need to set the path in the destination field, but I do not want to hard code the actual path (c:\cfusion8\...). I remember there being a variable that would show me the relative path of a file, but I forgot was that was called (I thought it was a CGI variable but none of them worked).

Any help will be appreciated.

Not variables -- functions.

This now varies by CF version. For the latest and greatest CF 8 I now
use this (Just wrote this a minute ago).

#getDirectoryFromPath(getCurrentTemplatePath())#

Check the system functions in your documentation if you have an older CF
server.

Just found it in my CFWACK book. Similar to what Ian said. Here is another slight variation:

#getDirectoryFromPath(ExpandPath("*.*"))#
