I am working with cakePhp 3.0.I am stuck trying to either store the image
in the database or image path in the database(either is fine).I have a form
that collects information and an image.I am able to get the form to store
the image on webroot but I am struggling with storing the same image into a
database.My problem is understanding patchEntity() as opposed to what is
more popular in cakephp saveFile(). My understanding is this saveFile()
would save a selected form filled. I have commented out my two attempts
just to illustrate what I have tried so far. Below is my code;
public function add()
{
$car = $this->Cars->newEntity();
if ($this->request->is('post')) {
$car = $this->Cars->patchEntity($car, $this->request->data);
//debug($this->request->data);die();
$now = time();
$dir = WWW_ROOT.'files'.DS.'uploads';
$extension =
strtolower(pathinfo($this->request->data['user_pic_path']['name'],PATHINFO_EXTENSION));
if(!empty($this->request->data['user_pic_path']['tmp_name'])&&
in_array($extension,array('jpg','jpeg','png','pdf'))
){
move_uploaded_file($this->request->data['user_pic_path']['tmp_name'],
$dir.DS . '-' . $extension
);
$this->request->data = array();
//$this->Cars->save($this->request->data);
//$this-Cars->PatchEntity($car,$this->request->data['user_pic_path']['tmp_name']);
}
if ($this->Cars->save($car)) {
$this->Flash->success(__('The car has been saved & new file
uploaded'));
return $this->redirect(['action' => 'index']);
} else {
$this->Flash->error(__('The car could not be saved. Please, try
again.'));
}
}
$this->set(compact('car'));
$this->set('_serialize', ['car']);
}
