Why not? Edited April 28, 2007 by sandman

[theguy0000]

Why not?

I already submitted them to JdeB, and he said no, the best answer as to why being 'we have to be picky in what we include'

[sandman]

That stinks.. I think this belongs as part of the built-in functions, it definitely opens up a whole new door for AutoIt..

That's what I said to JdeB...I still don't completely understand why, but oh well, it's his decision...

[sandman]

Yeah...

Anyway.. Web-based w/ MySQL anyone?

Maybe I could make that an option in BlogIt.. as soon as I get this stupid CSS thing sorted out

[lsakizada]

I have made some custom calltips for this.. these will be useful once this is finally made a built-in function

_EndRSSFeed() Ends the RSS feed. (required: #include <web.au3>)

Hey, I was bored..

Edit: Add these by going to Tools>User CallTip Entries in SciTE4AutoIt3 and pasting it in.

Thanks for that but I wanted to see REAL RSS example.

I wanted script that has already example with real URLs, links, etc. one that can be deployed easily.

The basic code is the best.

[theguy0000]

It's not too hard.

#include <Web.au3>
_StartRssFeed ("My Cool Feed", "www.mycoolwebsite.com", "Where I put all my cool stuff")
_RssAddItem ("First cool item", "this is very cool. enjoy!")
_RssAddItem ("Another Item", "don't you love it?")
_EndRssFeed ()

put that in a web-based autoit script, then tell people to point their feed reader to the script.

Aprelium has finally given me a good answer, so after I read RFC 1867, a function for file uploads is only a matter of time.

Stay tuned

[theguy0000]

OK, don't hold your breath. This gets a little complicated.

Hopefully the syntax will be

_File ("filename.txt")

However, if you put normal fields (input type="text") in the same form as an upload form, well, it gets a little hectic to code this thing user-friendly.

edit:

or

_File ("form-field-name")

*whew*!! that was probably the most complex func I ever wrote! or close to it......

Update 5 May 2007

ADDED _PostMultipart

NOW YOU CAN UPLOAD FILES! YAYYY!

; Description:      Gets a file that was submitted form, or the value of an input
;                       in a multipart form.
; Parameter(s):     $sVar            - The name of the input where the file was
;                                          submitted.
; Requirement(s):   None
; Return Value(s):  On Success - 
;                           IF THE REQUESTED VARIABLE IS A FILE:
;                                An array:
;                                   [0] - Name of the file - example: hello.txt
;                                   [1] - Content type of the retrieved file - Example: text/plain
;                                   [2] - Contents of the file.
;                           IF THE REQUESTED VARIABLE IS NOT A FILE:
;                               Value of the variable
;                   On Failure - 0
; Author(s):        Matt Roth (theguy0000) <theguy0000@gmail.com>
; Note(s):          None.oÝ÷ ÙìZ^êÞ̨º¸mWè®g(uî´äL$È8

You see, when you are retrieving a file, like the "cool" field, it returns an array. $array[0] is the name of the file, $array[1] is the content type (like text/plain, or image/jpeg), and $array[2] is the actual contents of the file.

The file is not uploaded for you automatically. If you want it uploaded, you should Filewrite ($array[0], $array[2])

But, when you are retrieving anything other than a file, such as the "submitter" field, an array is NOT returned. Instead, it returns only the value of the field.

I hope this was clear enough...the above example can be found at http://theguy0000.com/upload/

I got an error after I sent a jpg file to the link given:

that's weird. It didn't get your name right, either. Just 0. Which means it failed.

It worked just fine for me....

I'll look into it.

[theguy0000]

It's been confirmed with other people too, that it does not cause an error. Maybe send me the image you are trying to use, so that I can try for myself?

[sandman]

The function's pretty cool, but just one problem...

Abyss doesn't work with post values.

?????????

Every web server worth having works with POST. I am using Abyss, it worked fine............

The image i had tried to use:

http://dhilip89.hopto.org/cgi-bin/list.cgi?dir=/img

[theguy0000]

Indeed, I get that error too...no idea what could possibly cause that. Too big a file, maybe?

[theguy0000]

The error only happens with PNG files. Now that's weird.

[sandman]

When I try to use POST, it says it is disabled. Maybe because its X1?
