Re: file upload undefined: Operation now in progress

According to the docs:  When called with the name of an upload field, upload() returns a filehandle, or undef if the parameter is not a valid filehandle.

I'm not able to test it at the moment, but I should think that your problem is that you are sending it the actual file name, and not the field that contains the file name.

my $filehandle = $q->upload('file'); should work.

Sorry...forgot to mention that I tried that too and it doesn't work either. I found some example code that used that, so I decided to give it a whirl, but no luck. My original code snippet has transitioned while trying everything I can find.

If I call $q->tmpFileName(), it's undefined as well. Is upload() supposed to be saving to /tmp? My permissions are drwxrwxrwt on /tmp. Is that what I need? I'm not able to find much detailed info in any doc.

Error log says: readline() on unopened filehandle at /var/www/perl/modules/Lockbox/User.pm line 1833.

Even though, my other web app is still working, I found something that said some of the versions are screwed up & try v3.10 (was using the latest & greatest at v3.42). ...upload() is still undefined...

What am I overlooking???

...still working on this...

I've installed CGI::FileUpload to see where that gets me. Here's my current code:

sub customerupload{
        my $self = shift;
        my $q = $self->query;
        my @data;
        my $error = "";
        my $filename = $q->param('uploadfile');
        my $file;
        if($filename) {
                my $filehandle = new CGI::FileUpload();
                $file = $filehandle->upload('query'=>$q);
                my $data;
                while(<$file>) {
                        $data .= $_;
                }
                if($data) {
                        $error = 'Successfull upload';
                }
                else {
                        $error .= $CGI::VERSION."Nothing read<br>$file
+name<br>$file<br>"."<br>$!<br>";
                }
        }
        else{$error .= $CGI::VERSION."file not uploaded <br>$filename<
+br>$file<br>"."<br>$!<br>";}
        return $self->template({ file => 'customers.html', vars => {er
+ror           => $error, }});
}

However, it crashes at the line in CGI::FileUpload.pm that uses the CGI::upload method (back to square 1):

my $fhin=CGI::upload('uploadfile')||CORE::die "cannot convert [$filena
+me] into filehandle: $!";

The error message actually returns the name of my file i'm trying to upload. The CGI::FileUpload is creating the tmp files in /tmp/CGI-FileUpload dir: the key file (0 K), the key.part file (0 K), and the key.properties file (creates the file_orig, from_id, from_ipaddr, key, pid, and upload_status fields).

don't know if I'm getting anywhere or not...

OMG!!!

I finally figured it out. I had an extra unclosed form tag in my HTML that was throwing it off.
