You are missing the enctype form attribute needed for files input fields. Your
form definition should be:
<form enctype="multipart/form-data" action="" method="post">
Check http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/interact/forms.html#adef-enctype for details.

> Hi,
>
> Rather new to Django and using 1.2.5 and Windows, I am hung up trying
> to upload a file. I get a post request with request.FILES empty.
>
> My VIEW is:
>
> def intro(request):
> c = {}
> c.update(csrf(request))
>
> if request.method == 'POST': #see if form submitted
>
> form = FileUploadForm(request.POST,request.FILES)
> print request.FILES
> if form.is_valid():
> text = 'You successfully uploaded file:'
> handle_uploaded_file(request.FILES['file'])
> else:
> text = 'You may upload your student data file here'
> form = FileUploadForm()
>
> c['form'] = form
> c['text'] = text
> return render_to_response('intro.html', c)
>
>
> In SETTINGS I have:
>
> ROOT_PATH = os.path.dirname(__file__)
>
> MEDIA_ROOT = '/media/'
>
> MEDIA_URL = '/media/'
>
> And my TEMPLATE includes:
>
> <form action="" method="post">{% csrf_token %}
> <enctype = 'multipart/form-data'></enctype>
> <css = {'all': ('/media/css/main.css',)}></css>
> {{ form }}
> <input type = 'submit' value = 'Upload'/>
> </form>
>
> Any suggestions much appreciated.
