Hi jwtea

some hints:
No need to put QUOTES around NUMBERS!
-> set the width of the templateimage to 131
put the filename of img "myImage" to fld "imagepath"
-> put the filename of img "myImage" INTO fld "imagepath"

You do not see the path to the image because "mobilepickphoto" will COPY the user selected image into your stack, so it does not have a filename anymore.


Best

Hello Klaus , thanks for the tips! :D

The reason why i want the path to the image is because i want to upload the photo that is pick by the mobilepickPhoto Library function to my server ~ ~

Do you really need a FILE for that?

Please don't shoot the messenger!

This is due to security reasons a.k.a. "Sandboxing", we cannot access the original data of other apps, but this way we can, however not directly.
