I just made such a feature 2 weeks ago using a simple javascript
function to generate more input fields with file as type. I attached
that function to a button "Add files" and that is.
You need than in controller to write a loop to parse all the array
from $_FILES and for each file do call a "save()" function.
Here is an example jQuery function ( this function has to be in your
ctp file ):
function addmorefiels(){
$('#yourDiv').append('<input type="file" name="myfilesforupload[]"
value="">');
}
The you need in your form .ctp file some div where you push/attach new
dynamically input fields:
<form....>
...
...
<div id="yourDiv"></div>
<a href='javascript:void(0)' onclick='addmorefiels()'></a>
</form>
Than, in controller in save() function you check the array from
"myfilesforupload":
if( is_array($_FILES["myfilesforupload"]) &&
count($_FILES["myfilesforupload"])>0 ){
foreach($_FILES["myfilesforupload"] as $distinctFile){
... here you have to call your upload class and to save the
files
}
}
If you want to do this without page refresh than you have to use $ajax
from jQurey :)
