I'm trying to put together a multi-file upload thing and I'm wondering
how the element names should be set up and how I should expect the
array keys to come in. I plan to use the jquery-multifile-plugin [1]
and it appears that I'll need to adjust it slightly to deal with
Cake's input naming convention (ie. deal with the brackets). Before I
do that, though, I'd like to be clear on how the $data array should
look.
The model in question is ItemFile (belongsTo Item). The view code is:
$form->file('ItemFile.upload', array('class' => 'multi'))
The resulting element name in the source looks like:
name="data[ItemFile][upload]"
So, first off, how do I get the extra empty braces "[]" that I need at
the end of the name? I tried $form->file('ItemFile.upload[]'... but
that gave me:
name="data[ItemFile][upload[]]"
I don't mind doing without FormHelper for this but, if there's a way
to do this, I'd like to know.
Anyway, once I do have the input names correct, how should I expect
the data array to look? I'vefound a couple of Cake multi-upload
examples online but none of them can be used for my app and, in any
case, not one of them explains the data array. Anyone done this?
