Make sure your /app/files directory is writable by the webserver.
Replace MODEL_FIELD_NAME in the following with the field that you want
to store your image filenames as. eg. filename or image etc.
In your model you need to have
var $actsAs = array('Upload' => array(
'MODEL_FIELD_NAME' => array(
'dir' => 'files/Image',
'overwrite_existing' => true,
'create_directory' => true,
'allowed_mime' => array('image/jpeg', 'image/
pjpeg', 'image/gif', 'image/png'),
'allowed_ext' => array('.jpg', '.jpeg',
'.png', '.gif'))
) ;
In your database you need a MODEL_FIELD_NAME field. In your view use
$form->file("Model.MODEL_FIELD_NAME");
The controller needs
var $helpers = array("Form"); // plus any others you need eg.
Javascript, Html
The action does not need to do anything special as the behaviour
automatically does it the file movimg, filename filtering etc.
To display the uploaded file in your views you can use
HtmlHelper::Image
