Hello.
I read about this subject too.
In my view form i use:
$form->create('Geo_objectos',array('enctype'=> 'multipart/form-
data','action'=>'save'))
and , for the form i use:
<input type="file" name="ficheiro[]">
One array for file name.
Than in the controller i have $ficheiro as an array of files (or just
one), with all the info of the file (size, name, temp name etc.)
I tried to use $form->file, does't work for me because the $form-
>create was not correct, i have to use "array('enctype'=> 'multipart/
form-data')" to make it work,..
I don't use $form->file because i have a component, file handler that
need <input type="file" name="ficheiro[]"> to work.
I hope i have helped you.
Good bye
