how to instanciat a eZDataType classe ?

Hi,

I d'ont understand how to use the eZDataType classe.
In the documentation, I've found :

eZDataType::eZDataType(  	$dataTypeString,
		$name,
		$properties = array()	 
	) 	
Initializes the datatype with the string id $dataTypeString and the name $name.

So I've write :

	
include_once('kernel/classes/ezdatatype.php');
$l_OBJ_File =& eZDataType::eZDataType("dataType", "name");

and I got the message :
Fatal error: Call to undefined method: stdClass->isindexable() in C:\eZpublish\ezpublish\kernel\classes\ezdatatype.php on line 88

I use an ezpublish 3.10. Is it a bugging version for this classe ? What's wrong in my code ?

Thanks for your help.

Regards

Alex.

Thanks for your answer.

Well.... My first problem was to read a file content from an uploaded file and during all my investigations, I've found the classe eZDataType which seems to be ok to do the job for me.

But reading your answer I should be on a wrong way.

Thanks Hans Melis,

Your right, my problem is not well explain.
- The user, upload a file in the Back Office in a file object. For that, I've create a file object in the BO, in a specific folder. The user will use always the same object, so I'll have different version. This is a text file.
- With a cron job I have to import in a specific database datas stored in the file. For that, I have to read my file content with a php script, and my trouble is to point that file.

But I don't know how to read my text file content. So I search in eZDataType classe without success. And I'm not sure that the eZHTTPFile class is the good one.

Regards

Alex.
