im having a problem with folder path in include files. I have a solution, but there must be a way better one. The problem is when i have an include file... menu.inc in my root directory root/. This menu.inc references images in the root/images/ folder.
I also have an articles folder root/articles/. The menu.inc is included in files in the articles folder, however this messes up the image paths and files in the articles folder are looking for the images in root/articles/images/.
to combat this, in front of every image reference in my menu.inc file, i have a variable <%= pathVar %>. At the top of every file in the articles folder, i have the command <% pathVar = "../" %>. this will insert a ../ before the images folder in the reference therfore correcting the image reference. In the root folder I use <% pathVar = "" %> , so the <%= pathVar %> amounts to nothing leaving the paths correct.
This works, however means having to switch from HTML to ASP mode for every image in the include file, which is not efficient. Is there a better way around the path problem.
I have 1 form that put some text in Acces. After submitting that form there comes a form where 4 images can be uploaded. These image are stored in a folder on the webserver. Can I save the path to the image in the record (id) of the textfiles in Acces?
i'm working on uploading images to the webserver.Got a "test" version working, but as soon as i try to modify it.on my server i've got an Upload folder in the same folder as my aspUpload page.the path connection is as follows:Code:
sPath = Server.MapPath(".Uploads") & ""
but now i don't want it saved in the Uploads folder.The folder path i want is ../../../images/models/
Main folder is "Web". In the "WEB" folder some asp file resides. another folder named "Admin" also reside in the "WEB" folder. My DB resides in the DB folder that is outside of the "WEB" folder and on the same root where "WEB" folder is.
I have a file named Connect.asp which contains the path for DB. I have included this file in both user files (which are simply in web folder) and in the administrator files. But when the admin tries to log-in the file didn't read the appropriate path as it finds the DB in the WEB folder. But it works fine when i communicate with the DB through user files.
I want to write logfiles to a textfile. But when the file doesn't exist, then the file should be created. But the code gives an error at this part of the code. I have no idea of what the mistake could be. Here's the code:
I'm writing an ASP validation script that uses a cookie that is created by a user validation page and has a single value. This site will be used only under Internet Explorer 5 and more recent.
My problem is that the page called after the cookie creation can't read the cookie unless I set the Cookie.Path attribute to "". All the documentation that I found about it is very brief, don't explain how it really works and if there's any kind of "side effects". An even stranger fact is that some people of my team can read the cookie without setting the Cookie.Path attribute.
Can anyone tell me how the Cookie.Path really works or witch browser settings make it needed (or not)?
I have created my asp pages in "D:/test" . This i have created as a virtual directory. i am having some files in "D:/download/cont/somename" From the asp page i want to access the files in the d:/download/cont/somename folder. Here somename changes according to username. i.e first i want to check whether this path is valid and then get all the files from it but its giving me the following error
Server.MapPath(), ASP 0174 (0x80004005) An invalid '/' or '' was found in the Path parameter for the MapPath method. /test/contractsfile.asp, line 11
code: somename = Request.cookies("username") source = ".. est" & "/download/cont/" & somename if fs.folderexists(server.MapPath(source)) ---------------------------> line 11
I'm trying to concatenate a path of Application("WebSiteFullPath") which equals http://www.mywebsite.com/ and an image file like CODE below. My problem is the full path listing in RESULTS below adds an extra " quote and obviously breaks the path to the image. How can I script the quotes to not add the extra double quote between my website path variable and my image path?CODE:
I'm developing a content management system that uses a file uploader. The uploader works fine and uploads the file when using a mac computer, but doesn't upload the file when using a PC. I am thinking this is a path issue??
While my wwwroot is under C:inetput, how can I make URL pointing to the downloadable files on D:downloadmyfile? Do I have to use download COM? If yes, which one is recommended for free?
if you need to place the path to your database, what path do you place when you are having you site hosted by a web hosting company. For example my database is in a folder called "db" and its called "company.mdb"
the path I'm using is: "Data Source=c:dbcompanx.mdb"
but I keep getting a "database can't be found error" what path am I to assume they used. I mean its probably not a "C" drive so what do I place? I tried it without placing the drive but it doesn't work it seems to want only the direct path.
Why it is that to saVE a file an absolute path is required and to read a file or pic an relative path is required.can any one ellaborate it and also diff between relative and absolute path
I'm making an error tracking system.I want to include a file (or function) at the top of each page which gets the A) current file name B) directory the file is in. In PHP this is $_SERVER( PHP_SELF )
On a side note, why is it that you can type "PHP SERVER FUNCTIONS" in google and get wonderful results, whereas "ASP SERVER FUNCTIONS" returns garbage?
I downloaded a component which will enable me to upload data to my server. Currently i am using my localhost to develop the files. The component is called Aspfree upload [from http://www.freeaspupload.net] and it has variable called uploadsDirVar which you specify the directory which you want to upload the files to.
However i dont know the real path in my clients isp, so for examle i cant use "c/inetpub/wwwroot/database".
My files are structured as bellow: alpha/admin/pages --this is where my scripts are located. The directory i wish to upload the files are at alpha/database. I've tried uploadsDirVar = "../../database" and it did not work.
I have two temporary variables that are equal to folder paths. The first temporary variable could equal one folder name or multiple folder names depending upon an if statement so "" & fldr1 & "" & folder.name & "" will not work.
Is it possible to combine both into a third temporary variable? Example:
As my site and folder structure are becoming larger and larger - I am not quite sure how to reference files in a very different part of the folder structure. Is there certain syntax I should be adhearing to?
I see a lot of " ./ " stuff - but I am not quite sure what it means. Is there any other sort of things like ./ ? If you have any advice or have a link that explains this.
