i have a form that works, now i want to upload an image

[WideOpen]

Hi Everyone,

I'm working on a form for an auto body shop admin section. It's a staff section so the owner or whoever can add/delete/edit any staff members which will then display on a staff page on the site. I've created the form in ASP and using an SQL database. It's writing the data fine but now i want to add the option to upload an image so they can put an image of themselves up there.

Can anyone point me in the right direction so I can achieve this or help me out in some sort of way? Thanks a bunch and rock on!

Stefan.

I have used this for an exact same need you are describing.

The source code from this site is great for this problem.

Hello WideOpen,

You could store the picture in SQL as a BLOB type or you could upload the file to the server using a component like Persits (www.Persits.com) and store the name of the file in SQL. What every way you decide we can support you if you run into a problem.

Good luck and happy coding~

Persits is the way to go IMO.

I wouldn't store the name of the image in your database though, there's no need. Just go with a folder based hierarchy using the FSO object in conjunction with persits and you can pull off some pretty slick stuff without even touching your db.

Sincerely,
Mark
