Sending email - how do I include all attachments? Only the first file is being sent.

[Dan Weaver]

I'm sending email as per example at https://www.webscript.io/examples/fileattachment but I can't get the email to include all file attachments included in the form.

When I select multiple files on the form, only the first file is delivered with the email.

My form:

<form action="https://legalnotices.webscript.io/submit" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
 <input type="text" name="name" />
 <input type="file" name="attachments" multiple />
 <input type="submit" value="Submit Notice" />
</form>

My script is the same as on the example page with the small exception that I'm calling the file input field 'attachments' rather than 'attachment'.

How do I get all files included in request.files to be passed as attachments in the email?

Thanks, Dan.

I just added a feature for this... try using this instead:

attachments = { request.filelists.attachments }

This new field filelists is a dictionary mapping form field names to arrays of file objects (instead of two single file objects). This should handle HTML5's "multiple" file inputs. Let me know if this works for you.

Wow, that's quick work! Unfortunately, the filelists field isn't working for me. When I try that I get a 500 error and the logs say:

Attachment is missing the required "content" field.

Oh, sorry, should probably be:

attachments = request.filelists.attachments

(no curly braces around it... it's already a Lua table)

Perfect! Works great now. I was just trying a few variants myself but didn't think of removing the curly braces.

Thanks for adding this, it's really helpful. You should add this to the docs too.
