Get File Location and store in Field

[ndeeley]

Hi,

I've created a form that allows the user to upload an attachment.

I can save the attachment with <cffile> and create a directory (if none exists) with <cfdirectory> . However, I want to save the absolute filepath to a database field so I can use it as a hyperlink later.

I've tried to concatenate the directory path with a trimmed version of the form.UploadFile field contents, but it doesn't seem to work as I get back a c:.TMP file name instead of that which was actually uploaded.

Any ideas how I pull the location of the uploaded file back to a database?

thanks
neil

Use cffile.serverFi le.

Note that cffile might be named differently if you specified a value for the 'result' attribute.

That works brilliantly, thanks for your help acoder!
