In my ASP file, located at the "/test" directory of the website, I include another ASP file as below.
<!--#include file="../templates/_header.asp"-->
Inside the _header.asp file, how can I get the current file (_header.asp) directory? I need to get the web relative/absolute directory of _header.asp, but instead even if I can get the physical directory location of that file should be fine.
I tried Request.ServerVariables("") with almost all the variables, but none gave me what I wanted. This is necessory, becase the location of _header.asp and the file which includes that can vary.
Is there an easy way to find out the path of the current asp page? When looking at http://localhost/images/listing.asp I want to be able to extract "http://localhost/"
i am having a problem in how to create a Open File dialog to enable user to select a image file that will be stored into database. i just want the file path to be stored in database, not the image.
ASPError object gives the current line where error occurred. Is there a way to find out the line where Err.Number became non-zero due to a Server.CreateObject(...) failure?
Set fileSystem = Server.CreateObject( "Scripting.FileSystemObject" ) Set file = fileSystem.OpenTextFile( "config.xml", 1, False )
It's saying that 'config.xml' doesn't exist. How can I reference this file? It's in the same directory as the file with the above code. Do I need to build the path somehow?
I have a problem. I tried my best but could not solve is. I have a page where user selects the folder name from a drop down list. It takes user to show.asp page, where it how all the files in the folder and also user can click on them and download them. If I select name of the folder from the list, on show.asp it shows all the files and their link.
When I click on the link then most of the file which has long name and have space in their names wont be hyper linked. For example if files name is Virus Control.vsd or file name is INCIDENT-ACCIDENT INVESTIGATION REPORT.htm. If I click on them it will say "The page cannot be found". Code:
I have setup a site that allows users to login with a username and a password that are stored in a mysql database, now what i need to do is set it up so the users can only download specific file(s) related to their username. With my current set up using all asp and iis 5.0 all the users can download the same file from a certain directory. I was thinking of somehow using the session variable of the username as a variable in the download path of the file, but i don't know if this is a correct method of doing this or the correct syntax.
This does not seam to work for me in IE, but does in Netscape? What I am trying to accomplish is this.
On the footer of everypage we have a link that opens a comment page, example [<a href="#" onclick="javascript:view_win(/comment/comments2.asp');" class="notes">Send Comments</a>]. I am trying to write asp code to that takes the referering page and then gives the the filepath of that page which searches a database of web authors, and then returns the authors email address. after that I loop to add input sendto's for each one found. Code:
I'm needing some help on this. I need to know how to parse a file path for the file name in a browse box. Lets say I have a browse box in a form with the input of
C:/somedirectory/somefile.asp
I need a piece of code that could convert the input into just somefile.asp?
I am attempting to upload files to a folder on a remote server. However the folder is different for each user based on login. Is there anyway to do this using the code below. If not can someone tel me of a way to do it.
Dim DestinationPath DestinationPath = Server.mapPath("UploadFolder")
what I'm doing is executing a query based on login for a varible called "uploadFolder", so I want my destination path to be something like <% DestinationPath = Server.mapPath("rsRecord(uploadFolder)")%>
I am not able to save the file path into database remaining everything is working good i can upload the image to the folder and save the data to the database. I am using MySQL database .....
does any one here know of a good way to to determine whether or not a given path is a directory (e.g., "c:mydir") or a file (e.g., "c:mydir myfile.txt")?
i started attacking this problem by using filesystemobject to check whether or not a directory existed for the path. if so, it was a directory path. if not, i checked to see if a file existed for it. if so, it was a file path. Code:
The file uploader code I've been using won't let me use Request.Form and BinaryRead on the same page so I've resorted to having the file upload code on another, seperate page that is spawned from the first. Trouble is, the path to store the file at is determined on the first page and I don't know how to pass it along to the second.
I usually use SQL Server, but have occasionally had to use Access. This is such an occasion. My research, mainly at aspfaq.com, has been that you need to put the file path in your connection string, like this (watch out for the wrap):
I have one COM (.dll) for uploading files to server. Its working fine on server A but same code and file not working on server B giving error Path/File access error .
I have a simple asp form which writes to a csv. The code it's based on (from "ASP for Dummies") is:
Set peoplefile - _ filesys.OpenTextFile( _ "c:inetpubwwwrootgbgbpeople.txt",1)
The form is going live soon, and I'd like just a dash of due diligence in terms of security. I tried using a relative link to the gbpeople.txt file which didn't work. Is there a better way around this without reinventing?
I am trying to create a log of certain events on the website by writing them to a text file. The logging code is in an "included" file that is inserted into the pages that need to be monitored. Currently, the target text file is just specified in the FSO MapPath as "thelog.txt", so it writes the log to a text file within the same folder as the web page.
The problem is that I don't want to grant browsers Write access to my pages folder, so I need to have a separate directory to hold the log text file that browsers can have Write access to. The web site is hosted on a shared server that I do not have direct access to. In the past, occasionally an error has popped up that states the exact location, but I can not get that to repeat. I know it is something like "D:customersmyuseridwww"
How can I find out the actual location on the server so I can use an absolute path to write all the logs to one file in one location?
I have an upload script but i would like to show the person who uploaded the file the path to the file he uploaded. Ex: http://site.com/images/uploadedfile.jpg.
ive got a bit of code to check if a file exists and it works if I use the full path ie "C:Inetpubwwwrootfile.txt" can someone advise me how to get it so I can use the relative path ie "file.txt" where the file and the code are in the same directory? Code:
I have a Physical path that I need to convert on the FLY I thought using Replace would be a good idea, and it almost works
function MapURL(path)
dim url2 'Convert a physical file path to a URL for hypertext links. url2 = (path) MapURL = Replace(url2, "", "/") MapURL = Replace (url2,"E:","http://myscs/docLibraryDocs") MapURL = Replace (url2, "IntranetLibrary", "")
end function %>
- Is it possible to have multiple replace on the same variable ? - am I doing it the right way ? or is it possible to concatenate those replace in one go ?
Is there a limit on how many Replace one can use for one variable ?
The problem I have is that it takes the first two Replace in consideration but not the third one. If I remove or comment the second one then the First and the third one works fine. For some reason, it doesn't like to have the three in the same time.
by the way, the link I try to change is as follow: Code:
I need to load the file path of a file on a web server into a form text box. I tried using a normal form box using type=file but that just seems to return the file path from the local machine.
Ideally I'd like it if someone can get this to work with a file on a web server without using asp. If not then I suppose I'd have to use the FileSystemObject method. I can see how you can get a list of files from a remote server using FileSystemObject.
The problem I need help with is selecting a file path from the list of files into a text form box. The path of which I am then going to write to a database field.
I have a virtual path setup in order to give my web server access to a file on my app server. I am using the file system object to check for the existance of the file and if it exists, it has to validate the file date.
The problem is I can't seem to find the file. I can successfully check for the existance of a file on the web server, but once I enter the virtual path it can't find anything. All three of these calls return false...
I have a noticeboard that the user inputs items into. One of those is the date of an event. Once that event has passed I want it to disappear from the page.
So I need to do a comparison with current date to the date in the "datestarted" field. My table is called "notices." Using Access and ASP VBscript.
Im trying to get the current url where the user is at and store it into a variable. I want this to be done automatically, not when a user clicks a button. Any ideas?
I'd like to know how to display the current URL on the web page as a footer. This seems to be a fairly simple task, but everything i've found on the internet either doesn't work for some reason, or is asp.net specific....
I have an asp page currently such as default.asp?x=1&y=2&z=3
Now I want to keep the existing parameters and attach another parameter to it and resend to default.asp
As the original parameters are dynamic, and may or may not be generated, the only way is to read the current url and to simply add my new parameter such as h=5 to the url.
I don't know how to read the current url.
I tried Request.ServerVariables("SCRIPT_NAME") but that didn't include the parameters. i.e. it just returned the default.asp
