<p>I'm a new to yii, so I was following this <a href="http://www.yiiframework.com/wiki/2/how-to-upload-a-file-using-a-model/#hh1" rel="nofollow">tutorial</a>.</p> <p>when I try to upload picture it reports empty field even if it is not.</p> <p>my _form view:</p> <pre><code><div class="form"> <?php $form=$this->beginWidget('CActiveForm', array( 'id'=>'picture-form', 'enableAjaxValidation'=>false, 'htmlOptions' => array('enctype' => 'multipart/form-data'), )); ?> ... <div class="row"> <?php echo $form->labelEx($model,'path_to'); ?> <?php echo $form->fileField($model,'path_to'); ?> <?php echo $form->error($model,'path_to'); ?> </div> ... <?php $this->endWidget(); ?> </div> </code></pre> <p>and here is my action method:</p> <pre><code>public function actionCreate() { $model=new Picture; if(isset($_POST['Picture'])) { $model->attributes=$_POST['Picture']; $model->picture=CUploadedFile::getInstance($model,'path_to'); if($model->save()){ $log->lwrite('in save'.$model->picture); $model->picture->saveAs(Yii::app()->basePath.'/../images/'.$model->picture); $this->redirect(array('view','id'=>$model->id)); $log->lclose(); } } $this->render('create',array('model'=>$model,)); } </code></pre> <p>when I print_r($_FILES) everything what should be there is there when I print_r($_POST) the field 'path_to' is empty and the validator probably is picking that one.</p> <p>I'm probably missing something here and I'm clueless.</p> <p>update1: I've noticed yii is using hidden field with the same name as file input, than attributes are read from $_POST, which is causing the engine reading empty hidden field. I understand that the hidden field is there for update when user is not entering new picture. Can anyone advice what is the best way of doing picture upload?</p> <p>update2: model code: class Picture extends CActiveRecord {</p> <pre><code> public $picture; ... public function rules() { // NOTE: you should only define rules for those attributes that // will receive user inputs. return array( array('path_to, page_id', 'required'), array('page_id', 'numerical', 'integerOnly'=>true), array('alt_text', 'safe'), // The following rule is used by search(). // Please remove those attributes that should not be searched. array('id, alt_text, path_to, page_id', 'safe', 'on'=>'search'), //array('path_to', 'file','types'=>'jpg, gif, png', 'allowEmpty'=>true, 'on'=>'update'), //array('path_to', 'length', 'max'=>255, 'on'=>'insert,update'), array('path_to', 'unsafe'), ); } ... </code></pre> <p>Best! </p>

Guidance

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
