Using media_handle_upload from the Front-End and Attaching Media to a Post

Thank you everyone for the support! Lol, as soon as I published this I realized an error an it fixed the issue…since there is a minimum amount of information on the web about how to do this…here is my working code…again this is for a Front-End submission of an attachment in a wordpress theme…

//**************************************
// Attachment Insert Form
//**************************************
function insert_attachment_form($postID) {
?>
	<form id="file-form" name="file-form" method="POST" action="" enctype="multipart/form-data" >
		<input type="file" id="async-upload" name="async-upload" />
		<input type="hidden" name="postID" value="<?php echo $postID; ?>" />
		<?php wp_nonce_field('client-file-upload', 'client-file-upload'); ?>
		<input type="submit" value="Upload" id="submit" name="submit" />
	</form>
<?php } 

//**************************************
// Process Attachment Form
//**************************************
function process_attachment() {
	// verify this came from the our screen and with proper authorization,
	// because save_post can be triggered at other times
	if ( !wp_verify_nonce( $_POST['client-file-upload'], 'client-file-upload') ) {
        return $post->ID;
    }

    // Is the user allowed to edit the post or page?
	if ( !current_user_can( 'publish_posts', $post->ID ))
		return $post->ID;

	if( 'POST' == $_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] && !empty( $_FILES )) {
		require_once(ABSPATH . 'wp-admin/includes/admin.php');
		$id = media_handle_upload('async-upload', $_POST['postID']);
		unset($_FILES);
	}
}

Please help, I′m interested to implement this code. I′m programing blog to control of maintenance in my office and I need to attachment files to post. Better from forntend.

How implement this code in a single.php ??

Thanks

What trouble are you having?

I have a single post with a description of a problem. I need to attach some files like images, pdf′s, etc. from frontend.

Where can I paste your code to run the form in a single.php and how I call this functions?

thanks.

fontepink –

use exec-PHP to use php scripted right into the post/page. call the page where the script is in the action variable in the form to pass the variables

thanks for the info Ryan. Like you said, I couldn’t find much info on media_handle_upload.
