I am trying to use this code for uploading files to my server but is giving me an error.
This is the code:
<cfif isdefined("form.submit")>
<cffile action="uploadall" destination="#expandpath('../../images/Uploads/after')#">
</cfif>
<cfform action="#cgi.script_name#" enctype="multipart/form-data">
<cfinput type="file" name="attachment1"><br>
<cfinput type="file" name="attachment2"><br>
<cfinput type="file" name="attachment3"><br>
<cfinput type="submit" name=" submit" value="submit">
</cfform>
This is the Error:
The following information is meant for the website developer for debugging purposes.
Error Occurred While Processing Request
Invalid content type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded.
The files upload action requires forms to use enctype="multipart/form-data".
The error occurred in E:\sites\Example.Com\testing\handlers\upload\after.cfm: line 20
I see that you've moved on to a different solution, but I wanted to answer your question because the answer is plain crazy (and is stereotypical of some of the bizarre gotchas in Coldfusion). The problem is that <cfform> simply doesn't support the enctype attribute. If you want to upload files, you have to use a plain <form>. Weird, right?
(I suppose you could change the XSLT so that a cfform with a file input results in the enctype being set correctly automatically. But why it doesn't do this out of the box is beyond me.)
