Rails - Jun 2006 - Fil from filsystem -> db

Since Ajax doesn''t support file uploads, I''m using
"IFRAME remoting
made easy" (http://sean.treadway.info/). I''m saving a file to the
filesystem, and then trying to put it in to the database when I do the
final submit with ajax. I thought picking the file up and putting it
in the db would be as easy as having:
"@image.data = IO.read("path_to_file") in the create method in
the
controller. But I get: "undefined method `read'' for #"

What''s the right way of doing this?

Try IO.readlines("path_to_file").join instead of IO.read

That didn''t help. I still get "undefined method `read''
for #" :-(.

That''s very odd. Ruby doesn''t think you''re using the
standard IO class.
Are you certain you haven''t redefined that class somewhere else in your
code? Alternatively...try reinstalling ruby?

If you changed a line containing ''IO.read'' to
''IO.readlines'' and you''re
still getting a message that says, in part, "undefined method
''read'' for #"
then your code is not failing at that line.  If it were, you would be 
getting a message that says "undefined method ''readlines''
for #"

If you look more closely at the error message RoR is giving you, it tells 
you the controller | view | model / method / line number that caused the 
error.  It''s not all in one line, but it''s all there.
