Multiple File uploads in Web.py

[Ben Hayden]

Hey guys,

I've got JavaScript for multiple file uploads, and all the file name attributes are labeled 'name'.

<div id="addAttachments_wrapper">

    <input type="file" name="upload">

    <input type="file" name="upload">

</div>

On the python side, I can't get a list of 'upload' field storage objects with both the filename & value.

With this:

query_data = web.input(upload=[])

I can get a list with string file upload values, but no filename.

With this:

query_data = web.input(upload={})

I only get the last upload FieldStorage with filename & value, so I lose the first upload.

Any ideas on how I can get both uploads & perserve both file names?

You should possibly use different names like

<div id="addAttachments_wrapper">
<input type="file" name="upload1">
<input type="file" name="upload2">
</div>

and use query_data = web.input(upload={})

Try using:

web.webapi.rawinput().get("upload")

The input function takes the return value of rawinput(..) and converts
to appropriate form. By calling the rawinput function directly you get
data without any conversion.

When using rawinput you might not get list of files when you're
uploading only one, then you have to ensure files to be list.

files = web.webapi.rawinput().get( "upload" )

if not isinstance(files, list):
files = [files]
for f in files:
# save every file
