I am trying to implement multi files upload within my application. I was referring to this article and tried out this example, and it works (basically, they are the same). But when I try to implement it within my app for some reason it’s not saving any of the data into the database table.
So, when I upload files into the folder (that work’s just fine) I need filename and sessionID to be saved into the table. Here is my table:
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `photos` (
`id` int(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
`filename` varchar(45) NOT NULL,
`amount` int(11) DEFAULT NULL,
`pic_size_id` int(11) DEFAULT NULL,
`users_sid` varchar(40) NOT NULL
PRIMARY KEY (`id`),
) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8;
Here is my _form.php file:
<div class="form">
<?php $form=$this->beginWidget('CActiveForm', array(
'id'=>'photos-form',
'enableAjaxValidation'=>false,
'htmlOptions' => array(
'multiple' => 'multiple',
'enctype' => 'multipart/form-data',
)
)); ?>
<?php echo $form->errorSummary($model); ?>
<?php
$this->widget('CMultiFileUpload', array(
'name'=> 'images',
'accept' => 'jpeg|jpg|gif|png',
'duplicate' => 'Duplicate file!',
'denied'=> 'Invalid file type',
));
?>
<div class="row buttons">
<?php echo CHtml::submitButton($model->isNewRecord ? 'Create' : 'Save'); ?>
</div>
<?php $this->endWidget(); ?>
</div><!-- form -->
And here is my actionCreate() within PhotosController:
public function actionCreate()
{
$model=new Photos;
$images = array();
$images = CUploadedFile::getInstancesByName('images');
if (isset($images) && count($images) > 0)
{
// go through each uploaded image
foreach ($images as $image => $pic)
{
if ($pic->saveAs(Yii::getPathOfAlias('webroot').'/upload/'.$pic->name))
{
$img_add = new Photos();
$img_add->filename = $pic->name; //it might be $img_add->name for you, filename is just what I chose to call it in my model
$img_add->users_sid = Yii::app()->session->sessionID; // this links your picture model to the main model (like your user, or profile model)
if(!$img_add->save()) // save your imagesDONE
{
var_dump($img_add->getErrors());
var_dump($pic->name);
}
}
}
}
$this->render('create',array(
'model'=>$model,
));
}
var_dump($img_add->getErrors())
otuput is: array(1) { ["filename"]=> array(1) { [0]=> string(25) "Filename cannot be blank." } }
var_dump($pic->name)
otuput is: string(37) "windows_metro-wallpaper-1920x1080.jpg", so $pic->name contains filename.
And I really don’t know why it’s not adding anything, when in the same example it works.
Also it’s working when I have single upload, but with slightly different actionCreate() and _form.php of course:
PhotosController.php:
public function actionCreate()
{
$model=new Photos;
if(isset($_POST['Photos']))
{
$model->attributes=$_POST['Photos'];
$model->filename=CUploadedFile::getInstance($model,'filename');
if($model->validate())
{
$model->filename->saveAs(Yii::getPathOfAlias('webroot').'/upload/'.$model->filename);
$photo = new Photos;
$photo->filename = $model->filename;
$photo->users_sid = Yii::app()->session->sessionID;
if($photo->save())
{
$this->redirect(array('view','id'=>$model->id));
}
}
}
$this->render('create',array(
'model'=>$model,
));
}
_form.php:
<div class="form">
<?php $form=$this->beginWidget('CActiveForm', array(
'id'=>'photos-form',
'enableAjaxValidation'=>false,
'htmlOptions' => array('enctype' => 'multipart/form-data')
)); ?>
<?php echo $form->errorSummary($model); ?>
<!--<div class="row">
<?php echo $form->labelEx($model,'filename'); ?>
<?php echo $form->fileField($model,'filename'); ?>
<?php echo $form->error($model,'filename'); ?>
</div> -->
<div class="row buttons">
<?php echo CHtml::submitButton($model->isNewRecord ? 'Create' : 'Save'); ?>
</div>
<?php $this->endWidget(); ?>
</div><!-- form -->
