Look if the value is disabled (isValueDisabled()).
Per default is could be disabled for security reasons.
And getValue() returns null when there is any error at validation or
filtering on that file element. Therefor use always isValid().

Subject: [fw-general] File Element problem - getValue() returns null, but
getFileName() returns full path and file?
The subject says it all - I'm not really sure what I'm doing wrong, but
this
is really odd. This is on ZF 1.9.5 on the Beta Zend Server 5.0.3 btw...
I have a basic file field in my form, and it all works perfectly well -
calling getValues() on the form moves the file in to the correct location,
the whole thing is bulletproof - except that the return of getValues() for
the file field is null. Example.
$values = $this->getForm()->getValues();
var_dump($this->getForm()->image->getValue());
var_dump($this->getForm()->image->getFileName());
Returns...
NULL
string(91) "C:\Program
Files\Zend\Apache2\htdocs\HACT\application/../public/images/upload\testimage.jpg"
Can anyone help shed some light on this? It's quite peculiar. Obviously
I'd
like to just automatically pass the $values array through to my add/update
method and store the filename in the DB, as I'm sure this whole thing was
designed to be used, but I can't seem to get it to work!
