Hi again,
I have found out as follows after twiking with the dhtmlx framework. I am
not sure how o access the actual image, i have noticed the file is an
instance of something...not a file per say. i have the following results:
print type(file)
type: <type 'instance'>
print dir(file)
dir: ['FieldStorageClass', '_FieldStorage__file', '_FieldStorage__write',
'__contains__', '__doc__', '__getattr__', '__getitem__', '__init__',
'__iter__', '__len__', '__module__', '__nonzero__', '__repr__', 'bufsize',
'disposition', 'disposition_options', 'done', 'file', 'filename', 'fp',
'getfirst', 'getlist', 'getvalue', 'has_key', 'headers', 'innerboundary',
'keep_blank_values', 'keys', 'length', 'list', 'make_file', 'name',
'outerboundary', 'qs_on_post', 'read_binary', 'read_lines',
'read_lines_to_eof', 'read_lines_to_outerboundary', 'read_multi',
'read_single', 'read_urlencoded', 'skip_lines', 'strict_parsing', 'type',
'type_options']
print file
file: FieldStorage('file', 'power.gif',
'GIF87a\x1f\x02c\x01w\x00\x00!\xfe\x1aSoftware: Microsoft
Office\x00,\x00\x00\x00\x00\x1f\x02c\x01\x87\xf7\xde{\xff\xef\xa5\xef\xbdZ\xf7\xd6s\xf7\xce{\xff\xe6\x94\xe6\xbdZ\xe6\xb5Z\xef\xc5Z\xde\xbdk\xf7\xe6\x94\xf7\xe6{\xff\xf7\xb5\xf7\xcek\xef\xbdk\xd6\x9cR\xf7\xd6\x8c\xb5{!\xe6\x9cB\xd6\xadZ\xef\xcek\xef\xb5Z\xef\xadJ\xd6\x9c1\xff\.....etc...too
long to display
I looked at the PHP implementation which looks as follows:
$filename = $_FILES["file"]["name"];
move_uploaded_file($_FILES["file"]["tmp_name"], "uploaded/".$filename);
What would be the equivalent in python?
