I am using PAU3 to allow a user to upload a resume. If that file has blank spaces in the name (which is pretty common) PAU replaces the spaces with _.

Upon upload the webserver sends an email to my client with a link to the uploaded file. The file is referenced from the name of the upload field and it works perfectly if there are no spaces in the filename, however, since a file with spaces is renamed, the link is no good.

If I refer to the PAU filename, my email fails as it does not recognized the opject. How can I capture the renamed filename, at the point of hitting submit, into a Session Value so that I can refer to it in the email message?

Hello Bart,

You are posting Pure PHP Upload 3 support forum and asking about Pure ASP Upload 3? Which of these products is your question related to?

PHP. I guess it is not PAU, but the issue is the same in any event. The behaviour is renaming the file and I need to retrieve the renamed filename and put it in a Session Variable.

?

You can use the fileName binding, under the Upload Form in Bindigs tab in order to get the filename of the uploaded file.

That gives me the native filename, before your extension renames it.

The Filename Binding gives you the name of the uploaded file, if it is renamed, this is stored there.

I continue to be frustrated by this. I need to email the NEW filename on upload. To do this, I have to pass the filename into a Session Value on the upload page but I cannot make it work. I have placed my Session code AFTER the PHP upload code and used Current Page Submit as the trigger but the Session Value is empty.

[php]
<?php
if (!session_id()) session_start();
if(($_SERVER["REQUEST_METHOD"] == "POST" && (isset($_SERVER["HTTP_REFERER"]) && strpos(urldecode($_SERVER["HTTP_REFERER"]), urldecode($_SERVER["SERVER_NAME"].$_SERVER["PHP_SELF"])) > 0) && isset($_POST)) {
$_SESSION["cv"] = "".$resumes->folderList("name" ."";
}
?>
[/php]

If I place it ahead of the PHP Upload code the page will not load as it throws an error on the reference to folderList.
