Can someone show me how to do this?
I currently have a form that is shown to the user after they login. It allows them to add data to several fields in the images table of my Access database. This data describes the image they are uploading and there is also a field for them to upload the image. This works fine. I have the ASP set to scale the image at 8% for the thumbnail. The user is not very computer savvy and does not want an involved process and is not comfortable with resizing the images.
This is what I need to do:
I'd like to continue to use the same form so the user does not notice a difference in using the system. I received a response from Persits and they stated it is possible to accomplish this, but they offered no help as to how to do it.
I would like the user to fill out the form, select the photo to upload, then submit the form. Once they submit the form, I'd like it to upload the image to memory, scale the image to 600x450 pixels (not percentage as is the default), save the thumbnail and original to the database along with the image details they have entered.
I have used the same sample code which was provided in the ASPJpeg manual. The only thing I have changed is I have adapted my variables into the code, which work just fine. Here is the code I am using.
form2mem.asp
Code:
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>Image Upload</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<FORM ENCTYPE="multipart/form-data" METHOD="POST" ACTION="03_upload2mem.asp">
