Hi,
I’m wondering if it is a good idea to move the uploaded file on
Zend_Form_Element_File::getValue() call.
Because:
• If the receive() failed for what ever reason I may not want to go
further like inserting the other data in the database. And Currently
there is no easy way to check if receive() succeed.
• Or if a database transaction failed I will have to delete the files
• What if we want to name the file from the UID of the database record
Personally I prefer to use this pattern:
$this->db->beginTransaction();
try {
// will not call receive()
$data = $this->form->getValues(); $this->insert($data);
// will call Zend_File_Transfer_Http:: receive()
// if receive() failed throw an exception then no data is inserted
$this->saveFiles();
$this->db->commit();
} catch (Exception $ex) {
$this->db->rollBack();
}
Not calling receive() on Zend_Form_Element_File::getValue() would leave
more flexibility for the developer on how he want to handle the file.
What do you think?
