Upload files - relative url 3 years, 8 months ago #3066

thomas.benlevi OFFLINE Fresh Boarder Posts: 10	(re)Hello When i create an upload field in my forms, i must indicate a local folder (ie : c:\...\uploads) but this value is fully save in database. After when i try to view or download this file it doesn't work... is it possible to modify scripts to use relative url instead of this absolute ? Thomas

You might want to think about whether that is a good idea.

By adding pseudo-random digits to the filename, you are ensuring that:

a) You won't have filename clashes if two people upload a different file with the same name e.g. "resume.doc".

b) You reduce the chance of your system being abused by someone who could upload a file (e.g. warez or porn) to your server, and then post a known URL to another site.
