check if folder exists

[JohannIcon]

Hi all,

I am trying to upload an image on the server, however if the folder does not exist, it is giving me an error obviusly that the folder does not exist. How can I check if it does?

At the moment I am inserting the image as follows:-

var upLoad = Server.CreateObject( 'w3.upload' );
chosenName = String ( upLoad.Form( 'fileName2' ).item );
file = upLoad.Form( 'theFile' );
if ( file.IsFile )
{
file.SavetoFile(Server.MapPath("\\images\\councillors\\"+chosenName));
%>
The file has been saved as <%= chosenName %>.<BR>
<%
}
%>

Thanks for your help

Check out the &quot;folderExists&quot; method from the FileSystemObject. There you can easily check if a given folder exists or not.

Syntax:

var fs;
set fs=Server.CreateObject(&quot;Scripting.FileSystemObject&quot;
if fs.FolderExists(&quot;myFolder&quot=true then
upload the file;
else
show an error message;
end if
set fs=nothing;

I'm not sure about the right JavaScript syntax but I'm pretty sure it's something like this

Thanks Stoemp,

it worked, however now I have a problem cause I cannot pass the hidden varaibles to the next page. My code is as follows:-

Set fs=Server.CreateObject(&quot;Scripting.FileSystemObject&quot
If (fs.FolderExists(Server.MapPath(&quot;\images\councillors\&quot;+kunsill)))=false Then
set f=fs.CreateFolder(Server.MapPath(&quot;\images\councillors\&quot;+kunsill))
Response.Write(&quot;Folder Created&quot
set f=nothing
set fs=nothing
End If
%>
<input name=&quot;kunsillName&quot; type=&quot;hidden&quot; id=&quot;kunsill&quot; value=&quot;<%=kunsill%>&quot;>
<input name=&quot;kunsillImage&quot; type=&quot;hidden&quot; id=&quot;kunsillImage&quot; value=&quot;<%=Image%>&quot;>
<%
response.Redirect(&quot;kunsillieraInsertPic.asp&quot
%>

How can I pass these two hidden parameters to the next page?

Thanks again for your help!

Maybe you can put them in session variables or maybe in the querystring of the page you redirect to however I'm not sure redirect works with querystring variables.

I tried them with querystring and it worked!

Thanks
