Hello to everybody! I'd like to provide users with a possibility to upload pictures into a MySQL-Database. Therefore I created a web-form (using method="post" and enctype="multipart/form-data") with an input for uploading files (<input type="file" name="VorschlagBild">). The action of the form calls a SQL-Method that stores the data received from the into a MySQL-table (insert into Vorschlag values([...]<dtml-sqlvar VorschlagBild type="string">)). The picture should be put into a blob-field. I used 'type="string"' because "file" or something similar does not exist. Finally, the record gets stored into the MySQL-database, but the picture isn't saved the way I expected. Taking a look at the content of the table using webmin, the appropriate field just shows "<ZPublisher.HTTPRequest.FileUpload instance at 0x893a7ec>". Can anybody tell he how I manage to save/upload the picture and possibly even show it again in a website afterwards? Thanks in advance, and sorry if it is a simple question ... I tried to find a solution but couldn't find one. SInce I am unsure if this one should be posted to the RDBMS-list, I started here ... if this was wrong: Sorry!
