I have tried the above code, yet images uploaded to the form still do not show up.

Thank you! </p> https://www.machform.com/forums/topic/embed-uploaded-images-directly-in-sent-email#post-9727 Fri, 18 Jun 2010 06:51:49 +0000 vinchenze 9727@https://www.machform.com/forums/ <p>Thank you for the update, i have also received edited files from support with the above already in it...but unfortunately it still does not work (still getting broken image icon). I also attempted to update the original files as stated in the updated code mentioned above. Still no luck and still getting the broken image icon in emails. </p> <p>I must be missing something somewhere. Any ideas on what i am missing? For reference, when I view/edit the completed form within the admin area, I see the broken link but in the upload area i am able to download the image thus showing the upload worked properly. Of course everything else works fantastic!</p> <p>(yuniar made a comment above about attaching vs embedding...i thought this was not possible...but if it is, it would be a secondary alternative to my needs - unfortunately just linking - default setup - does not work well for us.) One other thing i checked was to make sure the data folder was 777. Again thank you in advance. </p> https://www.machform.com/forums/topic/embed-uploaded-images-directly-in-sent-email#post-9722 Thu, 17 Jun 2010 13:38:48 +0000 redityo 9722@https://www.machform.com/forums/ <p>There is an update for that code, try to replace this code :</p> <pre><code>$entry_details[$i][&#39;value&#39;] =&#39;&lt;img src=&quot;http&#39;.$ssl_suffix.&#39;://&#39;. $_SERVER[&#39;HTTP_HOST&#39;] .dirname($_SERVER[&#39;PHP_SELF&#39;]) . &#39;/data/form_&#39; . $form_id . &#39;/files/element_&#39; . $element_id . &#39;-&#39;. $file_1 . &#39;&quot; /&gt; &#39;;</code></pre> <p>with this</p> <pre><code>$entry_details[$i][&#39;value&#39;] =&#39;&lt;img src=&quot;http&#39;.$ssl_suffix.&#39;://&#39;. $_SERVER[&#39;HTTP_HOST&#39;] .dirname($_SERVER[&#39;PHP_SELF&#39;]) . &#39;/data/form_&#39; . $form_id . &#39;/files/&#39;. $filename_basic . &#39;&quot; /&gt; &#39;;</code></pre> <p>Then go to around line 383, you'll see this code </p> <pre><code>$file_1 = substr($filename_value,strpos($filename_value,&#39;-&#39;)+1);</code></pre> <p>put these code exactly above that line </p> <pre><code>$filename_basic = $filename_value ;</code></pre> https://www.machform.com/forums/topic/embed-uploaded-images-directly-in-sent-email#post-9719 Thu, 17 Jun 2010 02:21:37 +0000 vinchenze 9719@https://www.machform.com/forums/ <p>Did anything change?
