Upload image via form

[PortsmouthS&L]

Hi Guys, i am looking at creating a form using formmail.pl that allows our customers to submit their details to a directory we are creating within our store, is there anyway i can allow them to browse for an image/logo on their PC and email that to us as well?

norm at drillpine.biz has a patch that will do this

Hi thanks for the quick response. Norms patch is quite nice but offers far more then i need. I only want them to be able to email an image, it doesnt need online editing, positioning or displaying and as such would not justify a £125 price tag for something they can do for free from any email account.
I have found a few sites offering some advice about html uploading so if i come up with something as simple as i need, i will let you know.
Im sure im not only one wanting a basic version of norms patch.

Again many thanks

You can create a custom form and using some simple php code use an upload feature.

The contact/upload form does not need to live within actinic, in fact, many use it on its own URL for the versatility it offers.

I will dig around for you and see what I can find.

Search the web for e.g. "php file upload form tutorial" and you'll get plenty of useful free advice.

Having been browsing google for the last few hours im beginning to think that the terminology 'upload' is wrong for what i am trying. I think 'attachment' would be more suitable as it only has to be emailed to me, and not 'uploaded' to our site.

Thanks for the advice so far... however the search continues.
