Video not uploading

Yii 1.1 General Discussion

So I followed the directions on uploading a file correctly and instead of uploading or doing anything, after I submit the form, it will reload the page again but with all fields cleared out.

Here is my form:

At the top I have:


<?php $form=$this->beginWidget('CActiveForm', array(

	'id'=>'video-form',

	'enableAjaxValidation'=>false,

	'htmlOptions'=>array('enctype'=>'multipart/form-data'),

)); ?>

Then:





	<div class="row">

    <?php echo $form->labelEx($model,'filename'); ?>

	<?php echo CHtml::activeFileField($model, 'filename'); ?>

	</div>

My controller looks like:




	public function actionCreate()

	{

		$model=new Video;


		// Uncomment the following line if AJAX validation is needed

		// $this->performAjaxValidation($model);


		if(isset($_POST['Video']))

		{

			$model->attributes=$_POST['Video'];

			$model->date_created = date('l jS \of F Y h:i:s A');

			$model->uploader =  Yii::app()->user->id;

			$model->filename = CUploadedFile::getInstance($model,'filename');

			if($model->save())

				$this->redirect(array('view','id'=>$model->id));

		}


		$this->render('create',array(

			'model'=>$model,

		));

	}

And of course my model has this:


  array('filename', 'file', 'types'=>'flv', 'allowEmpty' => false),

Any ideas on why its just reloading the form?

Edit: Looks like a few files types such as flv, wmv, and some others are causing my form to reset even if I have a filter for it.

Alright, it looks like it only does this with .flv, .wmv and am suspecting for any video file, is there any particular reason for this?

$model->filename = CUploadedFile::getInstance($model,'filename');

Doesn’t CUploadedFile::getInstance returns an object instance of CUploadedFile ? case in which you return an object to be saved in database, which is wrong.
