[Zope] Re: uploading file with python script (problem with it)

Hi, Hans de Wit,
  
  I think there is something wrong with your form. To upload file, the form should specify "enctype" attr to "multipart/form-data". Like this:

<form action="addFile" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">...

Subject: [Zope] Newbie: uploading file with python script (problem with it)

Hello,

I have a problem uploading files via a form and a python script.
The content of the uploaded file after uploading it is only a string, ie the name of the 
file, not the file itself. I followed the guestbook example of the Zopebook.
This is the receiving Python script.

 # create a unique file id
id='entry_%d' % len(context.objectIds())

# create the file
afile=context.REQUEST['afilename']
context.manage_addProduct['OFSP'].manage_addFile(id,afile)

***
afilename is a field on the form the "sending" form:
<form action="addFile">
Add file:<input type="file" name="afilename:string" size="30"><br>
<input type="submit" value="upload">
</form>

Thanks for any advice
