# fdf_get_attachment

(no version information, might be only in CVS)

fdf_get_attachment -- Extracts uploaded file embedded in the FDF

## Description

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

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

The returned array contains the following fields:

- `path` - path were the file got stored

  `size` - size of the stored file in bytes

  `type` - mimetype if given in the FDF

Example 1. Storing an uploaded file

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