Re: richui file upload examples/suggestions -- EGL-I

Well, it was just my pragmatism kicking in. The OP posted to the EGL list, not the WEB400 list, so I assumed he was looking for an EGL solution (silly me!).

PHP is valid, yes, if it is in the "I do this in PHP how would I do that in EGL?" kind of question. Your post, however, seemed to be a blatant "Forget EGL, do it in PHP" without the OP even mentioning that they were looking for a PHP, or any other solution.

I am trying to avoid the noise of turf wars and instead want to focus on offering help to those who need it in the EGL arena. Pointing them to another solution is like Steve Richter pointing folks to the benefits of Microsoft on the Midrange list: It might be fun but it isn't relevant to the discussion unless an OP specifically asked for alternatives to IBM i. Otherwise is it just hype, opinion and noise.

Let's focus on helping EGL programmers with EGL solutions and, if we come up short, point them to other *lists* where they can get their issues resolved. Pointing Tim to the WEB400 list to post for other solutions would have been the more "helpful" suggestion if your goal was to migrate him to PHP primarily because he can get additional help there on PHP if he heads down that path.

I understand your point, I just didn't see Tim looking for anything but an EGL solution.

Pete,

You are too funny! Reading recent emails, PHP is fair game on ~this~ list.
And, since RUI is not exclusively EGL, contrary to kool-aid postings here, I
thought it was an appropriate answer. I certainly was able to find "about
37,600,000" Google answers for "upload PHP" and only "about 28,300" for
"upload EGL".

Besides, I thought he wanted a solution, not an EGL application.

P.S. Don't be gentle this time!

I think he was referring to RUI in EGL not Rich UI applications in
general, but you *know* that :-) Sticking to the EGL topic here is
more appropriate. WEB400 might be better, Trevor, for a response like
yours. <He says gently slapping hand...>

Tim....a quick search turned up nothing. I didn't find anything helpful
in my EGL examples I have. Unless Joe or Pete post back, you may want
to post over in the EGL Cafe as well.

There are tons of easy solutions with PHP, and using the IFS is simple. Try

Hi All,

I have an application where I need to allow a user to upload 1 or many
files. These files will be stored on the iseries ifs. I am using richui
with tomcat server running on windows server 2008. Wsdl,s on the tomcat
server make calls to the iseries for its info.

Any suggestions, examples, would be great.
