Setting the form's enctype to multipart/form-data does nothing more than send that text to the browser. It's then up to the browser to read it and realize that this means it needs to send the form's data to the server in a different format, one that works for binary data (like images). In your case, there is no browser; there is an iOS app. So it's up to you to write your iOS app in such a way that it delivers properly-formatted data to the web server. If you want to receive your data in CakePHP as if it were coming from a multipart/form-data web browser form, then you'll need to investigate how to send data in that format from an iOS app. -- Our newest site for the community: CakePHP Video Tutorials http://tv.cakephp.org Check out the new CakePHP Questions site http://ask.cakephp.org and help others with their CakePHP related questions.
