i have a simple form, where the results get sent out as an email. the form is within a dtml file, and the form method calls another dtml file which has the sendmail part. it all works fine.

but i need to add a file upload to the form, and have it send the attached file with the rest of the form results via email. so i have in my form:

<input size="20" value="" type="file" name="upload" />

and then in my dtml file:

<dtml-try> <dtml-sendmail mailhost="MailHost"> To: xxx From: xxx Subject: test form

<dtml-var upload>

</dtml-sendmail>

but the email i get back gives me this: <ZPublisher.HTTPRequest.FileUpload instance at 0x8c09bcc>

First, you'll need to learn about MIME types and mail and the dtml-mime tag. This should help: http://www.zope.org/Documentation/Guides/DTML-HTML/DTML.17.html Then you'll also need to know how to get the contents of a File object: http://mail.zope.org/pipermail/zope/2003-May/136380.html Also check out this thread: http://lists.imeme.net/archives/imeme-users/2000-September/000097.html --jcc -- "Code generators follow the 80/20 rule. They solve most of the problems, but not all of the problems. There are always features and edge cases that will need hand-coding. Even if code generation could build 100 percent of the application, there will still be an endless supply of boring meetings about feature design." (http://www.devx.com/java/editorial/15511)
