This tutorial for upload image or file using Cakephp 1.3.
Step 1 : Create table name 'uploads'
CREATE TABLE `uploads` (
`id` CHAR(36) NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY,
`title` VARCHAR(45) NOT NULL,
`description` TEXT,
`filename` VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL,
`filesize` INT(11) UNSIGNED NOT NULL DEFAULT 0,
`filemime` VARCHAR(45) NOT NULL DEFAULT 'text/plain',
`created` DATETIME,
`modified` DATETIME
);
Step 2 : Create view for 'uploads'
path : /views/uploads/add.ctp
<?php echo $this->Form->create(‘Upload’, array(‘type’ => ‘file’));?>
<fieldset>
<legend><?php __(‘Add Upload’); ?></legend>
<?php
echo $this->Form->input(‘title’);
echo $this->Form->input(‘description’);
echo $this->Form->input(‘file’, array(‘type’ => ‘file’));
?>
</fieldset>
<?php echo $this->Form->end(__(‘Submit’, true));?>
Step 3 : Create controller 'uploads_controller'
path : /controllers/uploads_controller.php
Step 3.1 : create function add()
function add() {
if (!empty($this->data)) {
$this->Upload->create();
if ($this->uploadFile() && $this->Upload->save($this->data)) {
$this->Session->setFlash(__('The upload has been saved', true));
$this->redirect(array('action' => 'index'));
} else {
$this->Session->setFlash(__('The upload could not be saved. Please, try again.', true));
}
}
}
Step 3.2 :create function uploadFile()
path : /webroot/uploads
make sure create folder 'upload' in webroot and permission access to this folder
function uploadFile() {
$file = $this->data[‘Upload’][‘file’];
if ($file[‘error’] === UPLOAD_ERR_OK) {
$id = String::uuid();
if (move_uploaded_file($file[‘tmp_name’], APP.’webroot/uploads’.DS.$id)) {
$this->data[‘Upload’][‘id’] = $id;
$this->data[‘Upload’][‘filename’] = $file[‘name’];
$this->data[‘Upload’][‘filesize’] = $file[‘size’];
$this->data[‘Upload’][‘filemime’] = $file[‘type’];
return true;
}
}
return false;
}
Step 4 : Create view and function for download
i. create view index.ctp
path : /views/uploads/index.ctp
<h2><?php __('Upload'); ?></h2>
<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
<tr>
<th><?php __('id'); ?></th>
<th><?php __('title'); ?></th>
<th><?php __('download'); ?></th>
</tr>
<?php foreach ($uploads as $upload): ?>
<tr>
<td><?php echo $upload['Upload']['id']; ?> </td>
<td><?php echo $upload['Upload']['title']; ?> </td>
<td>
<?php
echo $this->Html->link(__('Download', true), array(
'action' => 'download', $upload['Upload']['id']));
?> </td>
</tr>
<?php endforeach; ?>
</table>
ii. create function download in uploads_controller.php
function download($id = null) {
if (!$id) {
$this->Session->setFlash(__('Invalid id for upload', true));
$this->redirect(array('action' => 'index'));
}
$upload = $this->Upload->find('first', array(
'conditions' => array(
'Upload.id' => $id,
)
));
if (!$upload) {
$this->Session->setFlash(__('Invalid id for upload', true));
$this->redirect(array('action' => 'index'));
}
$this->view = 'media';
$filename = $upload['Upload']['filename'];
$this->set(array(
'id' => $upload['Upload']['id'],
'name' => substr($filename, 0, strrpos($filename, '.')),
'extension' => substr(strrchr($filename, '.'), 1),
'path' => APP . 'webroot/uploads' . DS,
'download' => true,
));
}
Extra : Show image in view.ctp
path : /views/uploads/view.ctp
$id = $upload['Upload']['id'];
echo '<img src="'.$this->Html->url(array('controller' => 'uploads','action' => 'download',$id)).'"/>';
