[Resolved] PUT method

neekow

Hi!

I'm looking for an other method to use instead of the $FILES method to transmit file informations.
I have no choice, I must use GET method in my code and I know that $FILES must be used with $_POST...

So my question is : Is the PUT method right in my case and does someone know how to use this one (especialy how declare variables with PUT...)?

Thanks in advance!

file transfer hast to be done with action="post" in the form tag

why do you have to use get?

I have to use GET because it's the only way I have found to transmit variables to frames (from main page).
In fact, I want to specify the folder whre the session file must be (for security reason), and my main page uses sessions...

Here is why I want to find a solution, sort of compromise between $_FILES and GET but is it possibble?

Thanks.

either do

<form method="post" action="upload.php?some_get_vars=some_values"

or inlcude the needed vars as hidden field and look for either POST or GET as source for the vars in the other scripts or send the form to your frameset file

I tried :

<form method="post" action="upload.php?some_get_vars=some_values"

but it doesn't work.

I tried the hidden field too before but how could I send a form to many frame (I have 3 frames)...?My main page receives the variables...but only the main page, not the frames! It would be the solution to send a form to my frames with POST... and goes on! My real problem is here and to avoid to use POST, I'm knocking my head!

So if you have any solutions,
Thanks a lot.

if can send send the form to your main file using post and the mainfile recieves the file being uploaded and all the vars you need, you can pass them to your frames as well

echo '<frame src="nav.php?session_path='.$path_to_Session

it doesn't matter where from you get the content of $path_to_session

Ok, I know what you mean but my file is in a frame, so when I reload (after having chosen the right file to upload) the frame, I send the session_path whith GET (because the first time I sent it to the frame, it was like your example so with GET method). So if you follow me, now we are in a frame whit GET to have session_path, and with $_FILES to get file informations...

Some codes :

//in the main page :
print "<frame src=\"quick_search.php?var=".$var."\" name=\"mainFrame\">";

//in the frame  :
session_save_path("../../session/".$_GET['session_path']."/");

//and always in the frame :
print "<form name=\"param_form\" action=\"quick_search.php?session_path=$session_path\" method=\"get\" enctype=\"multipart/form-data\">";

//Here is what I send to the frame itself:
print "<input name='param1"' value='".$_FILES['param1]['name']."' type='file'>

Do you see clearly what is my problem?
Thanks again!

you have to use method="posT" for file uploading

if you specify

echo '<form
  action="quick_search.php?session_path='.$session_path.'" 
  method="post"
  enctype="multipart/form-data">';

you can upload files and in quick_search.php you can access the file by $FILES and you can access $GET['session_path'] as you made it an url-parameter in your action string

btw: how is the session path determined?

Thanks mrhappiness,

It seems to work, there is an error but it's in relation with my code...I will thought about it.

But your help has been precious and it will let me advance in my project.

Thanks a lot again!

(I 'll mark "resolved" if I'm sure that I don't need help anymore)
