[web2py] Re: How to get the filename from an upload field?

[hamdy.a.farag]

assuming you've

def index():
    form = SQLFORM(db.tab)
    if form.accepts(request.vars, session):
        response.flash = 'x'
    records = db().select(db.tab.ALL)
    return dict(form=form, records=records)

then in view you can do something like:

{{extend 'layout.html'}}

{{=form}}

<table>
        <tr>
        <th>name</th>
        <th>image</th>
        </tr>

        {{for record in records:}}
        {{filename, file = db.tab.x.retrieve(record.x)}}
        <tr>
                <td>
                {{=filename}}
                </td>
                <td>

                image goes here
                </td>
        </tr>
        {{pass}}
</table>
