I have form which allow users to upload a file. From my controller I want to get the path with filename. I am using getFileName() method. But it gives the below error:
Message: Method getFileName does not exist
Below is my controller action:
public function addAction()
{
$form = new Application_Form_Student();
$form->setAttrib('enctype', 'multipart/form-data');
$form->submit->setLabel('Add');
$this->view->form = $form;
if ($this->getRequest()->isPost()) {
$formData = $this->getRequest()->getPost();
if ($form->isValid($formData)) {
$name = $form->getValue('name');
$email = $form->getValue('email');
$photo = $form->getValue('photo');
$location = $form->getFileName('photo');
$students = new Application_Model_DbTable_Students();
$students->addStudent($name, $email);
$this->_helper->redirector('index');
} else {
$form->populate($formData);
}
}
}
Check if this works -
public function addAction()
{
$form = new Application_Form_Student();
$form->setAttrib('enctype', 'multipart/form-data');
$form->submit->setLabel('Add');
$this->view->form = $form;
if ($this->getRequest()->isPost()) {
$formData = $this->getRequest()->getPost();
if ($form->isValid($formData)) {
$upload = new Zend_File_Transfer_Adapter_Http();
$upload->setDestination("/uploads/files/");
try {
$upload->receive();
$location = $upload->getFileName('photo');
}
catch(Zend_File_Transfer_Exception $e){
$e->getMessage();
}
} else {
$form->populate($formData);
}
}
}
The Second Method I was talking about. FORM FILE ELEMENT Settings Zend Framework: Upload file by using Zend Form Element
