I have posted a tutorial on how to use uploadify with cakephp
Users can upload images with uploadify and when uploadify sends the
image to my controller I simply attach the sessionid as a parameter.
Step One.
Create function on own controller
app/controller/PagesController.php
public function index() { /* this function for show index page*/
$this->layout='home';
$this->set('title_for_layout', 'Photo Upload');
}
public function uploadify() { /* this function for upload file */
$this->autoRender=false;
$targetFolder = WWW_ROOT .'/img/'; // this folder created on webroot/
$tempFile = $_FILES['Filedata']['tmp_name'];
$targetPath = $targetFolder;
$targetFile = rtrim($targetPath,'/') . '/' . $_FILES['Filedata']['name'];
// Validate the file type
$fileTypes = array('jpg','jpeg','gif','png'); // File extensions
$fileParts = pathinfo($_FILES['Filedata']['name']);
if (in_array($fileParts['extension'],$fileTypes)) {
move_uploaded_file($tempFile,$targetFile);
echo $_FILES['Filedata']['name'];
} else {
echo 'Invalid file type.';
}
}
Step 2
create view file for display
<h1>Uploadify Demo</h1>
<?php echo $this->Form->create('Setting', array('url'=>'#','type' => 'file')); ?>
<div id="queue"></div>
<?php echo $this->Form->input('file_upload',array('type' => 'file', "id"=>'file_upload', 'div'=>false,'label'=>false,"multiple"=>"true"));?>
<?php echo $this->Form->input('police_no',array('id'=>'police_no', 'div'=>false,'label'=>false));?>
<?php echo $this->Form->button('Submit',array('class'=>'button','div'=>false,'label'=>false));?>
<script type="text/javascript">
<?php $timestamp = 'phptp';?>
$(function() {
$('#file_upload').uploadify({
'formData' : {
'test' : '<?php 'photoupload';?>',
'token' : '<?php echo md5('unique_salt' . $timestamp);?>'
},
'method' : 'post',
'fileSizeLimit' : '100KB',
'fileTypeDesc' : 'Image Files',
'fileTypeExts' : '*.gif; *.jpg; *.png',
'debug' : false,
'swf' : '../img/uploadify.swf', /* this file save into webroot/images folder*/
'uploader' : '../Pages/uploadify', /* this function will come for controller
'onUploadSuccess' : function(file, data, response) {
document.getElementById('police_no').value=data;
}
});
});
