I'm not sure id $student is an integer ID or an entire array. You seem
to be treating it as both. You really only need to pass the ID.
In your form (the one with the file upload) include something like this:
$form->hidden('Student.id', array('value' => $student['Student']['id']))
That variable syntax might ... vary. I don't know precisely what you
have going on.
Next, in the add() method, grab the ID from the data passed by the form:
$student_id = $this->data['Student']['id'];
