Re: [WebDNA] File Upload Problem

texte = Sorry for the small amount of information. I'm troubleshooting a company-critical web service and wanted to get something out to the talk list fast in case it was a known/easy issue. I'm checking into it now and will post more info as I get it. What the web service does is allow someone to upload a file to a specified directory on the server. A database is maintained that tracks the filename, directory, person who uploaded, description, etc. It looks like the file is actually uploaded, but the database entry is not getting made. It seems that the name of the file that is uploaded contains the full path of the file on the computer from which the file is being uploaded. In other words, it appears that the pathname is not being parsed such that only the filename remains. I think that perhaps this full pathname, which includes back and forward slashes, is probably making the subsequent WebDNA code problems. No need to respond further at this time. Let me get a bit more information first. Thanks, Brian ----- Original Message ----- From: "Govinda"
