I'm trying to take a file that is input to a form and create a file object. However, the Content Type is always listed as "text/plain", and the content is simply the path of the original file, instead of the file itself.

Here is my code: <dtml-call "manage_addFolder('foo')"> <dtml-call "foo.manage_addFile('bar', REQUEST['sgmlfile'])">

and here is the form: <form action="howto_add"><table> <tr><th>Author</th> <td><input type=text name=author></td> </tr> <tr><th>SGML file</th? <td><input type-file name=sgmlfile></td> </tr> <tr><td></td><td><input type=submit value=" Submit "></td></tr> </table></form>

Does anybody have any suggestions as to what I might be doing wrong? Also, I tried looking through the source code for manage_addFile to see how it works, and I couldn't find it. Can anyone tell me where it is?

Thanks in advance, Alice
