Form Builder - Attachment HELP

[wms]

I'm using CMSMS 1.0.4. and FormBuilder 0.2.2.

I've created a 'File Upload' field so that the user can send their resume.  However, every time I hit submit, the site thinks about it for a while and then displays a blank screen and the e-mail received has no attachment.

Any ideas on why this wouldn't be working.

Thanks for any help.

What size of file are you trying to upload?  Have you checked the web server error logs?

[wms]

Thanks for the quick reply

I'm testing with a 93k size file.

I just tried again and it's still thinking about sending it...and then I guess it times out.

Here's the link you can test with:  http://linkprotection.ca/index.php?page=private-investigator&hl=en

Thanks,

Here's the error it finally comes back with:

CGI Timeout
The specified CGI application exceeded the allowed time for processing. The server has deleted the process.

And no e-mail is sent.

Any ideas?

Looks like the max execution time is set a bit too low, or your host is a bit too busy.

Try talking to your host about tweaking these php.ini settings:

max_execution_time = 30    ; Maximum execution time of each script, in seconds
max_input_time = 60    ; Maximum amount of time each script may spend parsing request data
memory_limit = 64M      ; Maximum amount of memory a script may consume

Ok,

I now get an e-mail from the form but the attachment is in the message [no an attached file] and looks like this:

I don't know what's happening here..... I just tested formbuilder again... and got the file as an attachment.

Maybe it's an encoding issue, or your email client.  I'm not sure.  I use kmail atm. and have no difficulties.

[wms]

hmmm.....maybe I'll see if I can get another mail package to use or installed.

Thanks,

This is what my host uses for a mail program:

e:/web/etc/windmail/windmail.exe -t

I'm guessing my problem might be associated with windmail.exe from what you said.

I'll try to find a work around solution for this.

Thanks for all of your help and the time you spent on this.

[calguy1000]

try setting the destination email to a hotmail or gmail account and see what happens.

[wms]

I just tried my work account [Gov't] and still the file gets embedded in the message.

[wms]

Ok...you got me thinking about the mail package my host uses.  I played with some of the switches with the windmail.exe program and still no such luck.  Then I switched to using the SMTP settings of CMSMailer.  And Volia!!  I received an e-mail with an attachment.

Thanks,

"whew", it's not anything I did
