Uploading Images Django Python

Question

html:

<label for="image">Image</label>
Select a file: <input type="file" name="img">

Python:

image = (request.FILES.get("img"))

When I print image it prints none . If I just use {{form}} in between the <form> </form> tags it does send the image across to the view. However, for some specific reason I do not want to use the {{form}} method.

Any ideas how I can approach this problem? Thanks in advance!

Make sure your <form> has enctype="multipart/form-data" , so it should look something like:

<form method="post" action="{URL}" enctype="multipart/form-data">
<input ...>
</form>
