Re: [dccreatives] Form with CMS

By gkornbluth - June 22, 2011

Hi dccreatives,

Just my two cents.

If you're using a contact form and also need the form to handle uploading a file or files, you might want to consider including at least a rudimentary form of CAPTCHA security in the process.

There are a few really flexible, free, third party solutions to forms that handle uploads discussed in my CMSB Cookbook http://www.thecmsbcookbook.com.

The file handling can include storing them on the server and the programs take care of a lot of "housekeeping" details as well.

Hope they give you some good ideas.

Best,

Jerry Kornbluth

Hi,

I did a google search for "PHP contact form with upload and got quite a few results returned.

Here is one article that looked like it matched what you're looking for:
http://www.html-form-guide.com/email-form/php-email-form-attachment.html

I haven't tried this myself, but it looks like it should get you pointed in the right direction.

Hope this helps

Thanks. I will check it out and let you know if it works.

Do you think I can use it with the form code that I indicated above? IF not, I'll use this one.

Hi,

The form code is probably fine, the issue will be handling the file upload.

Hope this helps
