Hi, I too had a similar problem but when I try to put the $form->create('User', array('action' => 'upload', 'type=>'file'));
I get this error, which doesn't happen when I remove the 'type'=>'file' option.. but then the file actually doesn't upload even though the record gets added to the database.. any idea whats wrong --------------------------------- Notice (8): Array to string conversion [CORE\cake\libs\model \datasources\dbo_source.php, line 505] Query: INSERT INTO `resumedetails` (`resume_id`,`resume_content`,`pic`) VALUES (2,'sdfsdf',Array) Warning (512): SQL Error: 1054: Unknown column 'Array' in 'field list' [CORE\cake\libs\model\datasources\dbo_source.php, line 440] ------------------------------------------------------ Its trying to pass Array instead of the actual file name Thanks in advance On Oct 18, 9:05 pm, "Samuel DeVore" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > $form->create('User', array('action' => 'upload', 'type=>'file')); > > this should make your form mime/multipart which is needed for upload > > Sam D > On 10/18/07, Rex <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > > > > > Hi, > > > I am trying to handle a file upload in cakephp 1.2 > > Problem is that the uploaded file information is not available in the > > controller. > > In the controller, $this->params['form'] is empty. > > Please help me debug this. > > > TIA, > > Rex > > > //================== View ======================== > > <?php > > echo $form->create('User', array('action' => 'upload')); > > echo $form->label('Users.fileUpload','Upload User Database > > File',null); > > echo $form->file('File'); > > echo $form->submit('Upload'); > > echo $form->end(); > > ?> > > > //================== Controller ==================== > > <?php > > class UsersController extends AppController > > { > > var $name = 'Users'; > > var $helpers = array('Html', 'Form'); > > > function upload() > > { > > var_dump($this->params['form']); print '<br/>'; > > > } > > ?> > > -- > (the old fart) the advice is free, the lack of crankiness will cost you > > - its a fine line between a real question and an idiot > > http://blog.samdevore.com/archives/2007/03/05/when-open-source-bugs-me/ --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Cake PHP" group.
