Anyone have a working example of the File UPload component using PHP?
I found some threads, but they aren't very clear on instructions.
Im using the Store example and modifuing hte Product REcord page to change the "image url" path to an upload component. So what i needs is that the form automatically fill in the url instead of us manually inputting the path to the uploaded image.
And how do we get rid of the automatic addition of the "timedate" being appended to the beginning of a filename? IF i upload avatar.jpg I want the file name to remain avatar.jpg

In ASP there is a FileUpload Component, several.
In PhP you just start with the documentation, the help file and these fora.

the only things I've found were not clear in explanation. Please provide a link to a tutorial; step by step. you know, something that shows pictures and exactly what coding needs to have done so that a file upload for the store example autmoatically fills in the Img URl field with the xact location to the image that has been uploaded and to have it show up when its done? And how to stop it from appending a date/time to the front of a file name.

I suspect that no one will find time to write tutorials for you...
Uploading files is very easy. Simply add FileUpload component to your form. There is also an example of uploading multiple files in CCS. And looks like you already implemented file upload anyway, because you wrote that "timedate" is being appended to filenames. (and this is needed functionality, so don't change it)
The file name is automatically saved in the database, so you can easily create URLs from any Web page.
You can find a lot of other information here on the forums, or describe the problem that you have so that somebody can help you with specific question.

1) I DONT want the time date added to it. How do I prevent it from adding it?
2) I used the upload, but I dont see the URL being written/saved to any database field at all.

Let me clarify point two: I dont watn the name of the file saved to the Datbase field. I want the URL to that file on the server to be saved to the database. I dont see how the FileUpload component does this. That's why I asked for a someone to explain it step by step. There is nothing on these forums that provide a clear explanation on how to use the file upload component.

There is no such need, and there is no way to know the URL. And one file can be displayed on different Web pages using many different URLs, like:
../../files/filename.gif
../files/filename.gif
/files/filename.gif
/filename.gif
http://www.domain1.com/filename.gif
http://www.domain2.com/filename.gif (different domain for the same Website)
These are all different URLs for the same exact file.
Thus you can simply construct different URLs on different Web pages where you display your files/images. Simply type on your Web page "../files/" (or other folder name with your files) before the image that you are displaying.
And BTW, this was already discussed and described on these forums.

IN which threads? I've searched but I found nothing that describes what you are saying.
1) how do you prevent the time/date appending? I dont want it to happen.
2) how does it write to the Database field? I uploaded it, but the field was filled in with "NULL".

Unfortunately I don't have time to read through past threads right now, but here are at least couple to look at:

Re: 1
This is not supported due to application security and other concerns. However, if you really don't want this then you can try removing date("YmdHis"), or ask support.
Re: 2
This is automatic and I have never seen this not working, so I cannot answer your question. You may want to check with the support as well.

Sorry, I meant "you can try removing date("YmdHis") from Classes.php".

what would be the security issue to uploading a file with its original name?
If many other applications (ie PhotoGalleries, download galleries, etc) can work without having a date/time appended to the file name, why can't CCS? I dont see any "security" risk into keeping the original file name.

i am facing the exact same problem, wizy i think instead of modifying the file upload control, we can try to do something to the image control, so that it can somehow get the image using SOMEPATH and the name in the database!

jleertou2,
Not sure what do you need from me since you just quoted my answer to your exact question.

There is an "Action - Get Original Filename" that you might use to tackle
your approach.
Also this thread was maintained double, you might find some interesting and
boring reading here :

Don't tell anyone I sent you there.
