WeberDev.com -> PHP Manual -> 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 .

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