But how does CGI.content_length know which file you're planning to upload? The Common Gateway Interface(CGI) is a standard means of communication between browsers, HTTP, web and other types of servers. The technologies may be different, but CGI enables them to pass to each other common information that is useful to all. CGI variables are an example of such information. When the browser makes a request, like posting the upload form, the server automatically populates the variables in CGI scope with information that pertains to the request. CGI.content_length is one such piece of information. It is just information about the request, and is available to Coldfusion, even without Coldfusion actually executing <cffile action="upload"...>. To see that in action, run the following code: ... View more

What else do I need to install on the server? Nothing. Like session and server, CGI is a standard, built-in scope, that contains so-called environment variables.

As there are 1024 bytes in a KB, this code block sets the maximum allowable file size for upload at 100 kB.---> <cfelse> <!--- Use the cffile tag to upload the file submitted by form ---> <cffile action="Upload"...etc> </cfif> ...

Mr. Moduswrote: From what I can tell from your loop you aren't actually looping through the result set, just running a loop as large as the record count. I thought so, too. But then, Botman63 says, "The array is populated just fine ". There's nothing wrong with his code. So long as what he wants is that all the elements of arrayData should have the same value. However, your remark -- decrement to adjust to array indices in JS -- makes me now think that that might not be what Botman63 wanted. Try this and let me know if it's the fix. <cfoutput query="qCompanyClientNames"> arrayData[#DecrementValue(CurrentRow)#] = '#CoName#|[#CoName#] #ClName#|' </cfoutput> Here's another suggestion, based on Botman63's own code. It simply adds the indices x+1. <cfset Records = #qCompanyClientNames.RecordCount# - 1> var arrayData = new Array(); <cfoutput> <cfloop from=0 to=#Records# index=x> arrayData[#x#] = '#qCompanyClientNames.CoName[x+1]#|[#qCompanyClientNames.CoName[x+1]#] #qCompanyClientNames.ClName[x+1]#|' </cfloop> </cfoutput> ...

You might have attempted to insert or update form data into the first table, that was meant for the second table. Why don't you code the names of the form fields with indices, e.g. fieldname_1, fieldname_2, which immediately tells you which table the data will go to. ... View more

In this kind of programming there are no hard and fast rules. I don't think there is a significant difference between the two. Which one you choose depends on how creatively you put the function JSCheck() together. However, i prefer the second. I get the feeling the button is 'overloaded', as it has to respond to two events: submit the form and run the script. Also, if the Javascript performs form validation, then it will only be natural for it to be called by onSubmit. Imagine that the result of the form validation, return JSCheck(this.form), is a boolean. If it is true, the form is submitted; otherwise, not. In these circumstances the code onSubmit="true;" will be more natural than the code onClick="true;" . ... View more

I think cfmail sends one e-mail at a time. The only way to send mail to multiple recipients, by executing the cfmail tag once, is to put multiple addresses in the "to", "cc" and "bcc" fields.

Something might have gone wrong during the configuration of the IIS connector. My advice is to disconnect IIS. That would make Coldfusion use its in-built webserver by default. When you get things running, you can then attempt to connect IIS again later. To disconnect IIS, launch the Web Server Connector Tool. Click on the IIS server to select it, and then on the Remove button. Go to Control Panel => Administrative Tools => Services and restart the Coldfusion MX7 Server service. Coldfusion should now run with its in-built server. Run in your browser, http://127.0.0.1:8500/CFIDE/administrator/index.cfm ... View more
