File uploads are not submitted when using PHP Embed Code en Sun, 03 May 2026 23:30:56 +0000 https://www.machform.com/forums/topic/bug-file-uploads-are-not-submitted-when-using-php-embed-code#post-21803 Wed, 17 Sep 2014 23:11:56 +0000 got2know 21803@https://www.machform.com/forums/ <p>Further to my last post - I played more with the whole "File Upload Folder" settings and did get it to work using the suggested fix of using the full path.</p> <p>The full path name was a little confusing - but then I saw it as part of an earlier portion of the php embed code. I just inserted the /data portion and all seemed to work. </p> https://www.machform.com/forums/topic/bug-file-uploads-are-not-submitted-when-using-php-embed-code#post-21802 Wed, 17 Sep 2014 22:18:51 +0000 got2know 21802@https://www.machform.com/forums/ <p>Hi,</p> <p>I'm on V 4.1 and have just run into the exact same issue as everyone else here (note: I did upgrade from a 3.x version on this install).</p> <p>- Form works except files don't upload<br /> - there is a quick flash of the error message prior to going to the thank you screen (I managed to do a screen capture of it before it flashed off and it's basically the same as rocketmedia's error message.</p> <p>File upload works fine in preview mode (I'm assuming preview mode likely does not use a php embed and that's why that works)</p> <p>Page's file upload does NOT work with the php embed.</p> <p>Page's file upload DOES work with javascript embed.</p> <p>I tried to change the ./data path for uploads, but that didn't help (although it's difficult to know what the right path name should be).</p> <p> I did check my php.ini settings and Safe Mode was off. File size not an issue, either.</p> <p>So I'm switching to Javascript embed for now - but would like to get the php embed resolved. </p> https://www.machform.com/forums/topic/bug-file-uploads-are-not-submitted-when-using-php-embed-code#post-20016 Sat, 25 Jan 2014 09:08:44 +0000 aes 20016@https://www.machform.com/forums/ <p>The page is security protected.
