Hello, First of all I would like to thank this lits for all the support I am receiving. I am writing my first module. I would appreciate any help with my question. I have created a content type called application. I am using two text fields and one filefield with this content type created using CCK. I am writing a custom module that does some operation on this node type when it is being created. Therefore I am using hook_nodeapi() in my custom module. function loadapp_nodeapi(&$node, $op, $a3 = NULL, $a4 = NULL){ switch ($op) { case'submit': // Do operations here break; } } I want to extract some information from this uploaded file and perform few other operations when the node is being created. I believe this be done with hook_nodeapi(). But how is the question. How can I access the filefield field when $op is 'submit'? -- With warm regards, Sudheer. S http://binaryvibes.co.in
