Thanks for your help on this. It is much appreciated.
I think it's pretty reasonable to think the construct "if ($this-
>my_file->receive())" should return true only if the file is actually
*received.* What else would a person conceivably be receiving? Whether
or not the upload is required or optional this shouldn't effect it.
Further, getFileName() shouldn't return the destination file-path when
there is no upload *because there is no file*. Makes no sense.
I had renamed manually because I need the product_id which I only have
after gotten the last-insert-id from the save operation (my filenames
are product_id.jpg). Is there a clever way to manage this from in the
form that you know of? I would rather utilize the rename filter but I
do not know the product-id until after validation.
I tried (as you kindly/smugly suggested) the "isUploaded" hint but it
lead to an error:
if ($form->my_file->receive()) {
if ($form->my_file->isUploaded()) {
... stuff ...
}
}
Error: "Method isUploaded does not exist."
The way that worked for me was to check if getFileName() is a
directory with is_dir(), a rather odd thing to have to do. However
this worked.
Thanks again!

To clearify this:
You are using trunk, but your code would not work.
As you wrote, you upload no file, and call receive().
Receive can sometimes return true, for example when you set the file
element it to be optional in the form, or when you set the
ignoreNoFile option in the adapter.
There are other ways to check this than relying on receive itself.
Also to note:
You rename manually and do not use the rename filter from Zend_File
which means that YOU rename the file and not the component.
Simply calling receive is not enough as you have noted.
When you are doing implementations yourself you are also responsible
of doing checks yourself.
In your case a simple check if the file has been uploaded or not. :-))
Hint: "isUploaded"
And as Matthew already noted:
When someone uses trunk he should also read the manual of trunk.
Online docs always refer to the latest stable release and not
trunk. ;-)

I'm working off svn of the current trunk.

If no file is uploaded, receive() still returns true? Here's an
example:
Please test against trunk. The component has undergone a lot of
work in
the past two weeks, with basically daily check-ins.
Additionally, read the current docbook documentation from trunk
as well.
if ($form->isValid($formData)) {
... do some stuff ...
... set $product_id to INT ...
// process form image
if ($form->product_image->receive()) {
rename($form->product_image->getFileName(), AP . "/media/products/
$product_id.jpg");
}
}
With the above code, if no file is uploaded my destination
directory
gets renamed. So, if there is no file, receive() is still
returning true
and getFileName() is equal to the destination directory and
consequently
the whole directory gets renamed as 5.jpg (for example).
Is this expected or am I implementing incorrectly?! I've asked
some dumb
questions on this list before. Hopefully this is another one.
BTW, as someone else just noted the docs must be updated! Let me
know if
i can help. I know some HTML.
Thx!!

A quick question to Thomas I suppose, how do I get the file name /
location
from a file uploaded using Zend_Form.
The docs contradict themselves...
In the code it uses:
$location = $form->foo->getFileName();
Then goes on to state in a note below:
"File values
Within HTTP a file element has no value. Therefor you will get no
output
when calling getValue()."
So I suppose it's a small bug in the docs, but ultimately I need
the
file
name so how do I get it?!
Thanks
