Hi aev,

Your MySQL login details are stored in /data/settings.dat.php and the line that loads /lib/init.php runs some code to automatically login.

So /lib/init.php is authenticating for you.

Hope that helps!

Hi Dave,

ok, thanks for explaining this.

Will this code work in PHP 4.3.0+ and MySQL 4.1.7+, like the rest of CMSB?

Yes, it should. As it's the code we use ourselves to base forms on when we build them for custom jobs.

Hi Dave,

I would like to add an image upload to this form, how can we do that?

We don't have an automated way to do that yet, unfortunately.

Do you plan to release this as a feature or plug-in/add-on in the near future?


What I'm really trying to do here is to make another (custom) php script send an image and some text to the CMSB's database. Is this scenario making any difference than coming from a HTML form?

For the text part it was pretty straightforward to use the php part from the form inside my script.

Long term yes, short term no. We want to automate how those fields work so we don't need to rewrite that functionality for each form (I've had to do that a few times myself already).

If you're writing a custom php script basically you can just save the upload to the upload dir and then insert information about it into the upload table.

If you want to re-size the images as well you can take a look at the saveResampledImageAs() function.

Hope that helps!
