I'm trying to modify a newsletter platform written in CakePHP to make attachments. When creating a newsletter, it's possible to upload an image file which will be added as an attachment. However, after the form submission (newsletter creation is a form), the $_FILES variable is empty. The name of the file is included in the POST data though.
Here is some of the form HTML
<form action='/systeem/nieuwsbrieven/' method='POST'> <tr> <td style='padding: 10px;'><textarea name='data[Nieuwsbrieven][omschrijving]' style='width: 100%;height: 150px;'></textarea></td> </tr> <tr> <td style='padding: 10px;'><input type="file" id='fileupload' name="data[Nieuwsbrieven][attachment]" style='width: 100%;height: 150px;'></td> </tr> I added the 'data[Nieuwsbrieven][omschrijving]' because that bit works. Here is the function that processes the form:
function nieuwsbrieven() { if (isset($this->data)) { echo 'DATA:'; var_dump($this->data); echo 'FILES:'; var_dump($_FILES); //echo $_FILES['data[Nieuwsbrieven][attachment]']['name']."<< THE NAME"; exit(); } else { echo "data bestaat niet"; } if(!empty($this->data)) { $this->data['Nieuwsbrieven']['datum'] = mktime(); $datum = explode('-', $this->data['Nieuwsbrieven']['convert_datum']); $this->data['Nieuwsbrieven']['plan_datum'] = mktime(0, 0, 0, $datum[1], $datum[0], $datum[2]); $this->Nieuwsbrieven->save($this->data); //$this->redirect("/systeem/verzenden/"); } } As you can see, I var_dump the $this->data and $_FILES, here is the output of that:
DATA: array(1) { ["Nieuwsbrieven"]=> array(5) { ["content"]=> string(21) " test content " ["titel"]=> string(12) "test subject" ["convert_datum"]=> string(10) "25-09-2014" ["omschrijving"]=> string(4) "test" ["attachment"]=> string(16) "137785222989.jpg" } } FILES: array(0) { } It's not a problem with INI settings because I tried a test script with vanilla PHP and was able to upload files just fine.
