I have a site that has many images so it is broke into several sub directory. I would like to be able to upload image files into the appropriate sub directory and then have one insert page where I can pull from the main root directory, a list of all the files ( including directory name ) and insert that into the recordset. This would be the reference in my MySQL DB for the image.

This would allow me to insert something like;

images/sub1/filename.jpg

I have used PureASP Upload before, but it is not supported with my ISP ( Linux with Chilisoft)

Thanks for any help.

A solution to a problem similar to yours was posted within the last week or so. Look for 'display all images from specified folder'. It should be about 10 posts below this one.

Just a reminder - please search the forum before asking for help. Quite often your question has already been answered for someone else.

Always glad to help. I think it's pretty nifty, too. Works well for when you have FTP access to a site but don't have the ability to do a web-based upload that will relate images to table records.

I just realized that you are using Chili!Soft (so much for Ned thoroughly reading the question before answering, huh?) - SpicePack is now a part of Chili!Soft, and includes a file upload component.

It does require that you take care with the authority granted to the upload folder, so your ISP may consider it a security risk (improperly implemented, it IS a security risk). I'd ask them for their policy on it.
