Can somebody help me on how I can get the filename of a FileUpload object in a python script?
When using following code in a python script,
context.REQUEST['accessory_image'].filename
I get always the following error :
Error Type: AttributeError Error Value: 'string' object has no attribute 'filename'
It's obvious that I doing something wrong, but what?
Thanks Tom.
Hi Tom I don't know, what you would like to do, but maybe I might be able to help with a simple example: A file gets uploaded via a form and then I print the content of the file on the screen. Perhaps this can serve you as some kind of starting point. First create a DTML method with id *uploadForm* and content: <dtml-var standard_html_header> <FORM ACTION="uploadFile" METHOD="POST" ENCTYPE="multipart/form-data"> <INPUT TYPE="file" NAME="file" SIZE="25" VALUE=""><br> <INPUT TYPE="SUBMIT" VALUE="Upload"> <dtml-var standard_html_footer> Then create a python script with id *uploadFile* and content: try: a = context.REQUEST.file.read() print a return printed except KeyError: print '''There was a key error: The script did not get the the field named *file* from your HTML form in *REQUEST* !''' return printed You do *not* have to set any bindings! Just this content in the script ! If you click the *Test* tab for the script you will see the error text, because you didn't privide a key *file* during this test (as this variable comes from the form). Now, call the *uploadForm* method, and you will see the form on your screen. Choose a file on your harddisk (preferably a text or HTML file for this simple example, otherwise you get a funny screen, because the content of the file will get printed) and click the *Upload* button. You should see the content of that file on your screen then. If you would like to see, what your *REQUEST* looks like, you can simply put this code into your script *uploadFile*, which gets called by *uploadForm*: print context.REQUEST return printed HTH --- Flynt
