Uploading an image file from a web form

[Shufen]

Hi all,

I have a form where users can use it to upload images into a file and
save it into a directory.

I have installed PIL and Image module and do a fair bit of reading on
these module. But I don't know how can I use python to get the
uploaded image file from the form.

Can I use something like that:

######################################################
im_file = form["userfile"]

######################################################

im = Image.open(im_file)
im.show()

####################################################

Can someone help? Many thanks....

You haven't indicated what web framework you are using.
That is, what are you using to cause your Python code
to be executed on the server when the user clicks on
the "upload" button (or whatever it will be called) in
the web page?

If you haven't *got* a web framework, then the answer to
your question is "go get one". ;-)

If your next question is "which one should I get?", the
answer is probably "have you checked with Google yet?"...
There are many and frequent discussions about this topic
in the newsgroup, so the archives should help you out, and
there are also numerous web pages discussing the various
options.
