Question regarding file uploads and also Captcha

[filch]

Hi Ben,

Hey Dave,

Sorry for not catching your post earlier. Did you have any luck figuring this stuff out?

Not yet. I am going to look at it again tomorrow.

With file uploads ... can the files be uploaded to a different web site other than the one the form resides in?

I've created and worked with plenty of forms that POST their content to another server, but I can't think of any time I've included a file with it... but I certainly don't see why you couldn't. Could you perhaps ask your hosting providers about this? I wonder if perhaps it's being prevented for security purposes.

It is my server and so the answer is no, it is not being prevented for any kind of security.

Also, with regards to the Captcha stuff, the docs seem to indicate that unless FormTools is installed on the site with the form that you want to add the Captcha to, it will not work .... is that correct?

For the CAPTCHA, I believe that's correct - it's certainly correct for different servers (since the API and the CAPTCHA are PHP based & you can't include PHP from another server). However, you can certainly try it with two different sites on the same server. It may be the case that if you can run PHP on one site from the other, it may work. But I suspect you'll run into problems.

So, the normal use of FormTools is to install a copy in every site you want to use it to control and manage forms?
