I am using the widget extension by kartik-v.
I am getting the upload widget in the form, the image upload is also shown in the display box, but it is not getting saved as when I reopen the form it is blank again.
Can someone help me in getting the image upload working.
I am using this with Active Form with model.
Thanks.
Hi Pawan, I have the same problem but I tried with a simple HTML input "file" and the with the kartik-v plugin and both method returns empty in $_FILES.
I thinks it is a configuration problem but I am trying to solve it.
If i have knews i will tell you.
I fixed it.
You have to set the parameter option ‘enctype’ to the Active form
<?php $form = ActiveForm::begin([
'type' => ActiveForm::TYPE_HORIZONTAL,
'options' => ['enctype'=>'multipart/form-data']
]); ?>

Nothing specific to my FileInput widget that focuses on capturing the file input and displaying on the client… but yes - for file uploads - set your form’s [font=“Courier New”]enctype[/font] to [font=“Courier New”]multipart/form-data[/font] as pointed out by sciolini. Check also if the attribute is set to safe in your model validation. FYI… your browser needs to support HTML5 file input (in case you are using multiple file uploads).
When I get time I may put in a wiki or something for the file uploads. You may get some information from this Yii 1.x wiki and try to use a similar approach for Yii 2.x. The key class to use in Yii2 is [font="Courier New"]\yii\web\UploadedFile[/font] instead of [font="Courier New"]CUploadedFile[/font].
You may want to check updates or discuss about the extension in the yii2-widgets forum. Had a similar query answered there.
Hi @Kartik V,
I solve the problem setting in my form enctype to multipart/form-data and when I do a var_dump($_FILES) I see all the file information. In my model i set the attribute with "safe" too, but when i do:
$physicalInvoice = new PhysicalInvoice();
$physicalInvoice->physical_number = $_POST['Bill']["physical_number"];
$file = UploadedFile::getInstance($physicalInvoice, 'image');
var_dump($file);
var_dump($_FILE);
$file is NULL, and $_FILE has values.
My form has has values of differents models, so i can not use "$model->load($_POST)" and i have to set attribute by attribute.
Do you know why UploadedFile::getInstance($physicalInvoice, ‘image’) return NULL;
‘image’ is the attribute of physicalInvoice model.
Thanks for your answer.
Regards,
I am not sure where you are having the problem. I can test and find the UploadedFile works with the FileInput widget simply this way:
Your Model
public function rules() {
return [
[['image'], 'safe'],
[['image'], 'file', 'types' => 'jpg'],
];
}
Your View
use kartik\widgets\ActiveForm;
use kartik\widgets\FileInput;
$form = ActiveForm::begin(['options' => ['enctype'=>'multipart/form-data']]);
echo $form->field($model, 'image')->widget(FileInput::classname(), [
'options' => ['accept' => 'image/*'],
]);
echo Html::submitButton('Submit', ['class'=>'btn btn-primary']);
ActiveForm::end();
Your Controller
// Your controller action
public function actionUpload()
{
$model = new Demo;
if (!empty($_POST)) {
$model->image = $_POST['Demo']['image'];
$file = \yii\web\UploadedFile::getInstance($model, 'image');
var_dump($file);
// You can then do the following
if ($model->save()) {
$file->saveAs('path/to/file');
}
// its better if you relegate such a code to your model class
}
return $this->render('upload', ['model'=>$model]);
}
You get the output as below
object(yii\web\UploadedFile)#33 (5) { ["name"]=> string(6) "demo.jpg" ["tempName"]=> string(28) "X:\UniServer\tmp\phpA719.tmp" ["type"]=> string(10) "image/jpeg" ["size"]=> int(173885) ["error"]=> int(0) }
Excelent answer Kartik V. Thanks a lot.
My problem was that I not using a specific model in the form
MY VIEW
use kartik\widgets\ActiveForm;
use kartik\widgets\FileInput;
$form = ActiveForm::begin(['options' => ['enctype'=>'multipart/form-data']]);
echo FileInput::widget([
'name' => 'attachment',
'showUpload' => false,
'buttonOptions' => ['label' => false],
'removeOptions' => ['label' => false],
'groupOptions' => ['class' => 'input-group-lg']
]);
echo Html::submitButton('Submit', ['class'=>'btn btn-primary']);
ActiveForm::end();
Therefore, I had to use UploadedFile::getInstanceByName(‘attachment’) in the controller Because UploadedFile::getInstance($model, ‘attachment’) return null;
MY CONTROLLER
// Your controller action
public function actionUpload()
{
$model = new Demo;
if (!empty($_POST)) {
$model->attachment = $_POST['Demo']['attachment'];
$file = \yii\web\UploadedFile::getInstanceByName($model, 'attachment');
var_dump($file);
// You can then do the following
if ($model->save()) {
$file->saveAs('path/to/file');
}
// its better if you relegate such a code to your model class
}
return $this->render('upload', ['model'=>$model]);
}
In conclusion: if you have a form with model you should use getInstance and if you have a form without a model you should use getInstanceByName
I have the exact same setup but my [font=“Courier New”]$_POST[‘Demo’][‘image’][/font] is an empty string.
[font="Courier New"]$_FILES[/font] is populated correctly though.
When I remove [font=“Courier New”]‘enctype’=>‘multipart/form-data’ $_POST[/font] is as expected.
I don’t really get what’s going on.
Anyway I made it work using this approach: http://www.yiiframework.com/wiki/622/upload-files-in-yii2-with-mongodb-and-gridfs/
The result is really satisfying.
I circumvented the problem with the following code, but I rewrite the filename in the model after
\yii\web\UploadedFile::getInstance($model, 'image');
Remains the problem of $__POST[‘Demo’][‘image’] = NULL
MyModel
public function rules() {
return [
[['image'], 'safe'],
[['image'], 'file', 'types' => Yii::$app->controller->module->imagetype], // is 'jpg,jpeg,gif,png' from configuration
];
}
MyView
use kartik\widgets\ActiveForm;
use kartik\widgets\FileInput;
$form = ActiveForm::begin([
'options' => ['enctype'=>'multipart/form-data'],
]);
echo $form->field($model, 'image')->widget(FileInput::classname(), [
'options' => ['accept' => 'image/'.Yii::$app->controller->module->imagetype], // is 'jpg,jpeg,gif,png' from configuration
'pluginOptions' => [
'previewFileType' => 'image',
],
]);
echo Html::submitButton('Submit', ['class'=>'btn btn-primary']);
ActiveForm::end();
MyController
public function actionCreate()
{
$model = new Demo;
if ($model->load(Yii::$app->request->post()) && $model->save())
{
$imagepath = Yii::$app->controller->module->imagepath; // is dirname(dirname(__DIR__)) . '/frontend/web/img/' from configuration
$this->uploadImage($model,$imagepath);
Yii::$app->session->setFlash('success', \Yii::t('articles.message', 'Demo has been saved!'));
return $this->redirect([
'view', 'id' => $model->id,
]);
} else {
return $this->render('create', [
'model' => $model,
]);
}
}
// Upload Image in a select Folder
protected function uploadImage($model,$imagepath)
{
$file = \yii\web\UploadedFile::getInstance($model, 'image');
$file->saveAs($imagepath.$file->name);
$model->image = $file->name;
$model->save();
}
Not related directly to the problem above - but in case you are using the widget to upload multiple files you should use the array input syntax for PHP to recognize the files as an array of files:
echo $form->field($model, 'filename[]') // note the brackets
->widget(FileInput::classname(), [
'options'=>['multiple'=>true]
]);
Hi Kartik,
I’m trying to make this: when i go to an update form, automatically loading the name of the file (loaded from the database) and the preview.
How do I populate these fields? I have to run a js function? which one?
Did not get the question completely?
Loading a file from server and displaying in view would need to be done through PHP only. If I have time - I can post a wiki later telling how to do that and how you trigger update of this uploaded file.
If you are hinting, that the server file should be read by the FileInput widget… its not possible. Its one way behavior only (create new upload - not update). The FileInput widget can only select files from client for uploading to server (its based on the HTML file input only and is limited by the HTML File Input features).
The answer to my question was the second: the widget input file is one way. To bypass the problem, in the update view if the image is present in the database i will show it in the form with a button to remove it, else i show the widget to upload the file.
Thanks
That’s correct… its as simple as the following. You can just style the following img tags using additional div container and css to mimic it like the FileInput widget preview.
$imageUrl = self::getUploadedFile(); // get file if available from the db/server
$image = ($imageUrl == null) ?
Html::img('/images/default.png', ['alt' => 'No image yet']) :
Html::img($imageUrl, ['alt' => 'User avatar']);
echo $image;
if ($imageUrl == null) { // to show FileInput only for new upload
echo FileInput::widget($options);
}
else {
echo Html::a('Remove Image', $deleteAction, ['class'=>'btn btn-danger']);
}
Just posted a wiki on using fileinput for reference.
Hello everyone.
Great widget but I have a problem with multiload.
The form`s input field:
echo '<label class="control-label">Add Attachments</label>';
echo FileInput::widget([
'model' => $model,
'attribute' => 'image',
'options' => ['multiple' => true]
]);
But the UploadedFile::getInstances($model, ‘image’) in the controller returns the array with only one file`s data.
It looks like:
Array
(
[0] => yii\web\UploadedFile Object
(
[name] => LF4IchVSjy4.jpg
[tempName] => /tmp/phpXsrkB0
[type] => image/jpeg
[size] => 58092
[error] => 0
)
)
What`s the problem? Does anyone know?
Thanks a lot!
Thanks read below.
In order for PHP to recognize MULTIPLE FILE INPUT, you must name the attribute in array format.
echo FileInput::widget([
'model' => $model,
'attribute' => 'image[]',
'options' => ['multiple' => true]
]);
Refer this wiki I created for the same.
have anybody of you ever encountered this sort of issue on Yii 2.0 before? The validator for extensions of file doesn’t work because the function: FileHelper::getMimeType($file->tempName, null, false) return this: “inode/x-empty”, so that the validator always return false.
