I built a form to allow attachments. I can upload the file successfully and I can send the email with the attachments successfully. The files have content there are no issues with that.</p.

My issue is with the file name. When the file name is uploaded it includes the entire path but without "/" so it's not parsing correctly when I use "fileparse"

EXAMPLE: When I send the file the file name ends up being C_Documents and SettingsrytremblMyDocuments9000_dollar_check_image.pdf

See the name runs together. Here is my code

sub openattachment {
    my $Buffer;
      my $BytesRead;
      my $Size = 0;
      my $FileLimit = 1024000;
    $theirFile = $attachmentFiles[$i];
    $FileName = $attachmentFiles[$i];
    my $tmpDir = "/tmp";
    
    my $date_stamp;
    my $fileCount = $i + 1 ;     
        
    #Get the date to stamp on the file
    &getDateAndTime;
    $date_stamp = "$mon$mday$year"."_"."$hour"."hr"."$min"."min"."$sec
+"; 

    # Parse FileName to remove path
    my ($name,$path,$extension) = fileparse($FileName,'\..*');
    $FileName = $name . $extension;
    
    # Replace blank spaces with underscores
    #$FileName =~ s/\s/_/g;
    # Remove non safe characters
    #$FileName =~ s/[^a-zA-Z0-9_.-\\]//g;
    
    # Create temporary directory if it doesn't exist
    if ( ! -d "$tmpDir" ) {
          mkdir "$tmpDir";
          chmod 0777,"$tmpDir";
    }
    
    # Delete file if it exists
    if ( -r "$tmpDir/$FileName" ) {
           unlink "$tmpDir/$FileName";
    }
    
      open(OUTPUT,">$tmpDir/$FileName");
      while ($BytesRead = read($theirFile,$Buffer,1024)) {
        print OUTPUT $Buffer;
        $Size += $BytesRead;
        if ($Size > $FileLimit) {
            &error_message("Your file is over the file size limit.");
              close (OUTPUT);
              unlink "$tmpDir/$FileName";
              $theirName = "NULL";
        }
      }
      $myFilePath = "$tmpDir/$FileName";
      close(OUTPUT);
      chmod 0666,"$tmpDir/$FileName";    
}
