I'm doing this to get the image name and directory to pass to PImage Where Picture is my model for storing the image information, and path is where the image is stored, relative to the img/ dir. (e.g. 'uploads/ pictures/myimage.jpg')
$path_info=pathinfo($this->data['Picture']['path']); $image_dir=WWW_ROOT . 'img' . DS .$path_info['dirname'] . DS; $image_name=$path_info['basename']; Think that should help you.
