Hi GUys,

I am using ICY Version 1.......53,

I have modified a page which calls upload2.php, which is basically the same as upload.php, below is the calling routine.

Code: [Hide] [Select]

<form method="GET" action="javascript:Popup('upload2.php')"show popup enctype="multipartform-data">

                <p><img src="{life.LIFE_PICTPATH}"></p>

                <input type="hidden" name="RECID" value="{life.UPDATE_TICKED}" />

                <p><input type="submit" name="submit" value="Add / Change Picture"></p>      

</th></form>

And a the line in my upload2.php code of

Code: [Hide] [Select]

$recordID = $_REQUEST["RECID"]; //ID of specie being uploaded

what i an trying to do is when the form is submitted it opens in a pop up upload2.php, which works , but i cannot pull through the RECID variable, can someone please shine some light on this please.

Regards

Use <form target="_blank" ...

It's a PopUp, why would it need target_blank? Else it will open in a new tab or window?

I've been posting some strange things here and there ...
I meant this :

Code: [Hide]

<form action="upload2.php" onsubmit="window.open('about:blank', 'formpopup', 'width=320,height=240,resizeable=no');" enctype="multipart/form-data" method="post" target="formpopup">

Mort,

Your code does not work, doesnt open as a pop up and i still cannot retrieve the data into upload2.php

Informpro

Have tried - <form action="upload2.php" onsubmit="window.open('about:blank', 'formpopup', 'width=320,height=240,resizeable=no');" enctype="multipart/form-data" method="post" target="formpopup">

and i have messed about with the retrieval code in upload2.php.

Code: [Hide] [Select]

define('IN_ICYPHOENIX', true);

if (!defined('IP_ROOT_PATH')) define('IP_ROOT_PATH', './');

if (!defined('PHP_EXT')) define('PHP_EXT', substr(strrchr(__FILE__, '.'), 1));

include(IP_ROOT_PATH . 'common.' . PHP_EXT);

include(IP_ROOT_PATH . '/newticklist/ticklistconfig.'.PHP_EXT);

$recordID = $_POST['RECID']; //ID of specie being uploaded

Have i got it perhaps in the wrong location in upload2.php ?

this is driving me nutz

$_REQUEST has _POST variables too.

It wasn't meant to. It's up to you to add the javascript.

<form is html - not php.

The form is used to "call" the php file after it has been loaded.

You will have to call the php first and call the html from that. As in .tpl file.

Of course the simplest way is to have the html in the php file and echo ' it.

Unfortunately phpBB doesn't work that way.

let me try again

Code in tpl --

Code: [Hide] [Select]

<form action="upload2.php" onsubmit="window.open('about:blank', 'formpopup', 'width=320,height=240,resizeable=no');" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data"  target="formpopup"> 

                <p><input align="middle" type="image" name="imageField" id="imageField" src="{life.LIFE_PICTPATH}" alt="Add an Image"></p>

                <input type="hidden" name="RECID" value="{life.UPDATE_TICKED}" />

</form>

The upload2.php does open a tpl file in a popup window just the same as it does in ICY itself when you add an image to gallery

Which should put the value contained in life.UPDATE_TICKED as the post variable of RECID correct ?

I know that life.UPDATE_TICKED, does produce a value as i have checked with an echo statement.

Code in upload2.php to retrieve this value is

Code: [Hide] [Select]

$recordID = $_REQUEST['RECID']; //ID of specie being uploaded

I bit of insight --

I have a database that contains a list of birds all have a unique record number and is passed into the TPL under the variable life.UPDATE_TICKED, and it definately does transfer the correct value. I want to get this value into upload2.php so that when the user selects an image to upload i can assosciate it to this species unique to the user for retrieval in another page.

I dont normally have issues with post, get or request but i am severely going nutz with this is there something in icy 1.53 that stops you from posting ?

It's a big ask my friend when you have a MOD that you have got from somewhere, patched it for Icy Phoenix and never made it publicly available.

And now you are asking questions about it when no-one has any idea of what the overall code is or what the end result is supposed to be.

Also, Icy Phoenix *53 is Officially no longer supported. - So It would be wise to upgrade it.

Can you please show us how do you define this UPDATE_TICKED?
