fdf_get_attachment

PHP function Edit on GitHub ✎

(PHP 4 >= 4.3.0, PHP 5 < 5.3.0, PECL fdf SVN)

Extracts uploaded file embedded in the FDF

Description

fdf_get_attachment(resource $fdf_document, string $fieldname, string $savepath): array

Extracts a file uploaded by means of the "file selection" field fieldname and stores it under savepath.

Parameters

fdf_document: The FDF document handle, returned by fdf_create(), fdf_open() or fdf_open_string().
fieldname
savepath: May be the name of a plain file or an existing directory in which the file is to be created under its original name. Any existing file under the same name will be overwritten.
Note
There seems to be no other way to find out the original filename but to store the file using a directory as savepath and check for the basename it was stored under.

Return Values

The returned array contains the following fields:

path - path where the file got stored
size - size of the stored file in bytes
type - mimetype if given in the FDF

Examples

Storing an uploaded file

php

<?php
  $fdf = fdf_open_string($HTTP_FDF_DATA);
  $data = fdf_get_attachment($fdf, "filename", "/tmpdir");
  echo "The uploaded file is stored in $data[path]";
?>
