form validation with file element

alexjet · #1 (**permalink**) 10-12-2008, 07:21 PM

Hello guys.
Today almost entire day investigating a problem with form validation with a file on it...
The form defined in ini file, a file element defined in this way:

Code:

form.elements.file.type = "file"
form.elements.file.options.label = "Attach a file:"
form.elements.file.options.attribs.class = "input"
form.elements.file.options.validators.size = "1500000"
form.elements.file.options.required = false

The form displayed ok, as required.

Then there is such validation:

Code:

if ( $request->isPost() ) {
    if ( $form->isValid($_POST) ) {

And here before the isValid() call uploaded file accessible in temp dir, but after this call the file record presents in $_FILES array, but cannot be read with readfile($_FILES['file']['tmp_name']) or $adapter->receive().

Please help how I can get that uploaded file?
I'm going crazy already

You should give your complete code, otherwise we can only speculate about possible problems.

What is $adapter ?
What file do you upload ?
How does the $_FILES array look like you mentioned ?
Which release of ZF are you using ?

I have the same problem here!

Some help would be much appreciated

Still, what I said is true.

Without any additional information than just "it does not work", I can not help, nor can any other person.

File uploads are really tricky therefor we need more informations than just the codelines.

Thomas,

$this->addElement('file','presentation', array(
'decorators' => $this->_standardElementDecorator,
'label' => $translate->_('presentation_photo').':',
'destination' => Bootstrap::$root.'/files/album/presentation',
));
$this->getElement('presentation')->addValidator('Size', false, '10MB');
$this->getElement('presentation')->addValidator('Count', false, 1);
$this->getElement('presentation')->addValidator('Extension', false, 'jpg,gif');
$this->getElement('presentation')->addValidator('ImageSize', false, array(60, 60, 640, 480));

$filter = new Zend_Filter_File_Rename(Bootstrap::$root.'/files/album/presentation/'.substr(md5(rand() * time()), 0, 16), true);
$this->getElement('presentation')->addFilter($filter);

Above is code from add form

After I do $form->presentation->receive() in controller, the rename file is uploaded smoothly. However how could I retrieve that 'renamed' file name?
P.S. $form->presentation->getValue(); ain't working

Any help is much appreciated

Thanks in advance

Have you tried getFileName() ?

Because file elements don't have a value, wether in HTTP nor in Zend due to security reasons. Therefor getValue will (and should) return nothing until now. When we find a security-conform solution we will integrate it.

Thanks dude, for your prompt reply to save my Saturday morning misery :P

However I remembered I tried this getFileName() yesterday by my own, I did not work..

But wot'd hell, now it's ok. Thanks again
