Saving Images In Another Webapp

Yii 1.1 General Discussion
1

Hi all!

Prolly a fast one for the experienced users.

I have a webapp for my public_html and one for my admin_html, server-root like this:

SERVER

-framework/

-protected/

-admin_prot/

-public_html/

-admin_html/

Separating the backend totally from the frontend.

My problem is when im uploading images in my backend, i cant seem to save them in my frontend… iv’e tried several variations like:




$model->pic->saveAs(Yii::getPathOfAlias('webroot').'/images/'.$model->pic);

$model->pic->saveAs(Yii::getPathOfAlias('webroot').'/../images/'.$model->pic);

ive allso tried Yii::setPathOfAlias(‘public_images’, ‘/public_html/images/’);

Anyone care to tell me where i stepped wrong? :)

Appriciate it!

Dear Friend




$model->pic->saveAs($model->pic);

The above code would save the image in webroot folder itself.




$model->pic->saveAs("images/".$model->pic);

The above code will save the image in webroot/images folder.

Regards.

Dear Friend

Kindly check that whether the following is helpful to you.

I hope there may be better and simpler solution exists.

Now I have two applications(yii) in my localhost.

1.boost.(/var/www/boost)

2.nivas.(/var/www/nivas)

Now we want to save images from application boost into a folder residing in application nivas.

That means we want to save in /var/www/nivas/images.

The following is the controller logic in boost.




public function actionUpload()

{

	$model=new FileForm;

	$webPath=dirname(dirname(Yii::app()->basePath));

	$imagePath=$webPath."/nivas/images";

	if(isset($_FILES["FileForm"]))

	{

		$files=CUploadedFile::getInstances($model,"files");

		foreach($files as $file)

			$file->saveAs($imagePath."/".$file->name);

						

	}


	$this->render('upload',array("model"=>$model));			

}	







Yii::app()->basePath;//   /var/www/boost/protected







dirname(Yii::app()->basePath);//    /var/www/boost 







dirname(dirname(Yii::app()->basePath));//  /var/www







dirname(dirname(Yii::app()->basePath))."/nivas/images";//   /var/www/nivas/images

I hope I helped a bit.

Regards.
