I am really just trying to echo the uploaded image into the sidebar of the form as a preview of what was uploaded. </p> <p>I just don't know how to pull it out of this array to display correctly. I can do it perfectly with no hitch inside a form field html element but not in the sidebar. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/echo-specific-gravity-form-fields-in-a-multi-step-form-into-sidebar-widget#post-85833 Wed, 31 Oct 2012 14:49:19 +0000 Chris Hajer 85833@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>OK, that's good. The file is in a tmp folder because the form has not yet been submitted. Is this the information you needed? I'm not sure how long that image location will be valid because it will be removed from there after the form is submitted. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/echo-specific-gravity-form-fields-in-a-multi-step-form-into-sidebar-widget#post-85824 Wed, 31 Oct 2012 14:37:40 +0000 matsilva 85824@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Yes just array.

If that's the case, you can use var_dump($_FILES) which might work. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/echo-specific-gravity-form-fields-in-a-multi-step-form-into-sidebar-widget#post-85814 Wed, 31 Oct 2012 14:27:33 +0000 matsilva 85814@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>That was what I did actually :) </p> <p>However David mentioned not using $_FILES array for this.

You must have AJAX turned off for the specific form and then you will be able to echo submitted fields into the sidebar. </p> <p>However it doesn't seem to work with the standard image upload and displaying that in the sidebar. Still looking for a workaround for this. </p>
