Hi!
I try to upload a file on my web-server. Here is my form:

<?php $form=$this->beginWidget('CActiveForm', array(
            'id'=>'t-generate-licence-form',
            'enableAjaxValidation'=>true,
            'htmlOptions' => array('enctype' => 'multipart/form-data'),
    )); ?>

            <div class="row">
                <?php echo CHtml::beginForm(); ?>
                <?php echo CHtml::label('Insert licence file','file'); ?>
                <?php echo CHtml::fileField('file',''); ?>
            </div>

            <div class="row buttons">
                <?php echo CHtml::submitButton('Generate', array('name'=>'generateLicence')); ?>
            </div>
            <?php echo CHtml::endForm(); ?>

    <?php $this->endWidget(); ?>

Now my controller:

if (isset($_POST['generateLicence']))
            {
                if (isset($_FILES['file']['name']))
                {
                    print_r2($_FILES);
                    $model = new t_licence;
                    $model->licenceFile=CUploadedFile::getInstance($model,'licenceFile');
                    $model->licenceFile->saveAs('test');
                    die();
                }
            }

I have the following error: Call to a member function saveAs() on a non-object.

Here is my variable $FILES:

Array
(
    [file] => Array
        (
            [name] => licence_test.txt
            [type] => application/octet-stream
            [tmp_name] => C:\Program Files\webserver\Bin\php\Uploads\php19.tmp
            [error] => 0
            [size] => 887
        )

)

When I look in folder C:\Program Files\webserver\Bin\php\Uploads I can't find my file. What is the problem?
Thanks by adavance.

First you open to forms in your view, one via CActiveForm widget and one via CHtml::beginForm(). Remove the latter.

Then you don't have a call to save() in your Controller so maybe this causes also the file not to be saved by yii.

Look at the How to upload a file using a model wiki for a working example.

Thanks.

My model isn't completely created so I don't want to save it now, but for test, I've tried to save it but the problem still the same. In fact I think my file isn't considered as a CUploadedFile. In the following code, I have an non-object error on licenceFile.tempName().

$model->licenceFile=CUploadedFile::getInstance($model,'licenceFile');
if($model->save())
{
   echo $model->licenceFile.tempName();
   $model->licenceFile->saveAs($model->licenceFile.tempName());
   die();
}

You need to read that article linked to.

CUploadedFile is separate from the model, so it's not saved if you save the model.

Not sure to understand, little recap just to be sure:
My model t_licence has been created with all my database field (f_licence_id, f_product_id...)
But, to upload I've created a variable licenceFile like that:

class t_esi_licence extends CActiveRecord
{
	public $licenceFile;

So, when I save my model, $licenceFile is not saved, that why I have a non-object error. Am I right?

What am I supposed to do to correct that? How should I save CUploadedFile? Am I obliged to save my model t_licence?

Sorry, I'm a little lost!

[jacmoe]

Okay.. Did you READ the article Kokomo linked you to?

[cyanatide]

Yes, I follow this article, but apparently, there is something I have misunderstood because I don't see the difference between my code and the article code.

First declare an attribute to store the file name in the model class => Done.
Also declare a file validation rule for this attribute => Done.
My controller is similar to the on in the article:

...
$model->licenceFile=CUploadedFile::getInstance($model,'licenceFile');
if($model->save())
{
   echo $model->licenceFile.tempName();
   $model->licenceFile->saveAs($model->licenceFile.tempName());
   die();
}

And my view send me the right $_FILES. So I don't see where is the problem.

Ok, I see, I can't use this syntax in my view:

<?php echo CHtml::beginForm(); ?>
<?php echo CHtml::label('Insert licence file','file'); ?>
<?php echo CHtml::fileField('file',''); ?>

but this one instead:

echo $form->labelEx($model, 'licenceFile');
echo $form->fileField($model, 'licenceFile');

In the first case getInstance($model,'licenceFile') is null, that why I have an error.


Thanks for your help.

Ouch. I didn't spot that. Yup, you're right.
