fdf_get_attachment - Extracts uploaded file embedded in the FDF

SYNOPSIS
       array fdf_get_attachment (resource  $fdf_document, string  $fieldname, string  $savepath)

DESCRIPTION
	Extracts a file uploaded by means of the "file selection" field $fieldname and stores it under $savepath.

PARAMETERS
	      o $fdf_document
		- The FDF document handle, returned by fdf_create(3), fdf_open(3) or fdf_open_string(3).

	      o $fieldname
		-

	      o $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 exist-
		ing 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.

	      o$path - path were the file got stored

	      o$size - size of the stored file in bytes

	      o$type - mimetype if given in the FDF

		$fdf = fdf_open_string($HTTP_FDF_DATA);
		$data = fdf_get_attachment($fdf, "filename", "/tmpdir");
		echo "The uploaded file is stored in $data[path]";
	      ?>
