Hi
Thanks for your reply.
Ya the actual contents are posted along with the file.
See my application is like this:
User can submit any attachment and can view all the attachments
submitted by other users.
Attachment contents can be anything.
So where should I store the attachment 1)In database 2)In a file on
server
