I have used a component for uploading image,there is no problem in controller after add component.Here the code
class OesUsersController extends AppController { var $helpers = array('Html', 'Form'); var $components = array('upload'); public function index() { } public function upload() { if (empty($this->data)) { $this->render(); } else { $this->cleanUpFields(); // set the upload destination folder $destination = realpath('../../app/webroot/img/uploads/') . '/'; // grab the file $file = $this->data['Image']['filedata']; // upload the image using the upload component $result = $this->Upload->upload($file, $destination, null, array('type' => 'resizecrop', 'size' => array('400', '300'), 'output' => 'jpg')); if (!$result){ $this->data['Image']['filedata'] = $this->Upload->result; } else { // display error $errors = $this->Upload->errors; // piece together errors if(is_array($errors)){ $errors = implode("<br />",$errors); } $this->Session->setFlash($errors); $this->redirect('/images/upload'); exit(); } if ($this->Image->save($this->data)) { $this->Session->setFlash('Image has been added.'); $this->redirect('/images/index'); } else { $this->Session->setFlash('Please correct errors below.'); unlink($destination.$this->Upload->result); } } } The problem is image doesn't come from add.ctp
here the add.ctp code
<label for="Image">Image:</label> <input type="file" name="data[Image][filedata]" id="ImageFiledata" /> add function code
public function add() { $clint_ip=$this->request->clientIp(); if ($this->request->is('post')) { $this->OesUser->create(); pr($this->request->data); $this->request->data['OesUser']['user_otpkey']=String::uuid(); $this->request->data['OesUser']['user_regdate']=date("Y-m-d H:i:s"); $this->request->data['OesUser']['user_ip']=$clint_ip; $this->barcode($this->request->data['OesUser']['user_otpkey']); if ($this->OesUser->save($this->request->data)) { $this->Session->setFlash(__('The oes user has been saved'), 'flash_success'); $this->redirect(array('action' => 'index')); } else { $this->Session->setFlash(__('The oes user could not be saved. Please, try again.'), 'flash_fail'); } } $this->set('ip',$clint_ip); } here, database field name: image controller name :OesUsers Model name :OesUser
