                              fdf_get_attachment

   (PHP 4 >= 4.3.0)
   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]";
   ?>
