Tried finding an answer to this question but I can't. I'm trying to upload pictures to a MySQL database with the normal conditions: <input type="file" name="picture1"> enctype="multipart/form-data" method="post" My ZSQL method has the following DTML: <dtml-var expr=picture1.data> I've also tried the same thing with dtml-sqlvar using type=string. I'm always greeted with the following error whenever I feel I'm going to make a breakthrough: FileUpload instance has no attribute 'data' removing the ".data" section gives me: <ZPublisher.HTTPRequest.FileUpload instance at 0x932c35c> as the entry for that particular field. Is it possible?????? Am I trying the impossible??? if not... how can I make it possible to get these pictures into this database. (i'm starting to lose my cool on this computer). Thanks for any help. If it's not possible I guess I'll have to bloat my Object Database rather than my relational databse. Quince Baltimore, MD.
