Hi Menno, what you get from the form is a FileUpload object, so try this: print file.__dict__ and you will find out that it has a method called file.read() which returns the data of the uploaded file. Cheers, Gregor! -----Original Message----- From: "Menno Brandsen" <menno@zreal.net> To: <zope-dev@zope.org> Date: Fri, 16 Mar 2001 03:46:45 +0100 Subject: [Zope-dev] (no subject) I have a question regarding images in a MySQL Database I'm trying to insert (and retrieve) images into a mysql database I use a standard upload form and a normal insert statement in the sql. The output i get is this : <ZPublisher.HTTPRequest.FileUpload instance at 86550c8> which is clearly not the correct data Can someone help me out with this, i need to get the data from the image in some sort of way, but i dont know how to do this !
