GOLF(2gg)

NAME
file-uploading - (files)

PURPOSE
Upload a file to server.

SYNTAX

        get-param <name>

DESCRIPTION
Files uploaded via client (such as a browser, curl etc.) are obtained via get-param.

Golf uploads files via HTML automatically, meaning you do not have to write any code for that specific purpose. An uploaded file will be stored in file-storage, with path and name of such a file generated by Golf to be unique. For example, a file uploaded might be named "/var/lib/gg/app_name/app//file/d0/f31881". When file is uploaded, the following input parameters can be obtained, in this case assuming "name" attribute of HTML "input" element is "myfile":

    • "myfile_filename" is the name of the file as provided by the client.

    • "myfile_location" is the full path on the server where file is stored (such as "/var/lib/gg/app_name/app//file/d0/f31881" for example)

    • "myfile_ext" is the extension of the file, for example ".jpg" or ".pdf". Note that ".jpeg" is always showing as ".jpg". The extension is always lower case.

    • "myfile_size" is the size of the file uploaded, as a string. See gg for setting the maximum file upload size.

For example, for an HTML form which is uploading a file named "myfile", such as

        <input type='file' name='myfile'>

your code that handles this might be:

        get-param myfile_filename
        get-param myfile_location
        get-param myfile_ext
        get-param myfile_size

        You have uploaded file <<p-web myfile_filename>> to a server file at <<p-web myfile_location>>
