Thank you Michael – that did the trick on finding JFactory library. However, now it seems the session variables in my Joomla article are not making it to EasyFileUploaderHelper.php. Most likely the namespace issue – I am a long time developer but new to Joomla, done some php but new to namespace issue – what would I do with the Joomla article php code so they are using the same session variables?
Thanks again.
