You’ll need to create a Database schema that holds information in BLOB type - this will be where the content is stored. I’ve attached my Model, Controller and View so you can compare the code etcetera and figure things out …
The SQL:
CREATE TABLE `tbl_abstract_img` (
  `id` int(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
  `chit_id` int(11) DEFAULT NULL,
  `create_time` datetime DEFAULT NULL,
  `create_user_id` int(11) DEFAULT NULL,
  `update_time` datetime DEFAULT NULL,
  `update_user_id` int(11) DEFAULT NULL,
  `file_name` varchar(128) DEFAULT NULL,
  `file_type` varchar(128) DEFAULT NULL,
  `file_size` int(11) DEFAULT NULL,
  `file_content` blob,
  PRIMARY KEY (`id`),
  UNIQUE KEY `id` (`id`),
  KEY `FK_abstract_img_chit` (`chit_id`),
  KEY `FK_abstract_img_author` (`create_user_id`),
  CONSTRAINT `FK_abstract_img_author` FOREIGN KEY (`create_user_id`) REFERENCES `tbl_user` (`id`),
  CONSTRAINT `FK_abstract_img_chit` FOREIGN KEY (`chit_id`) REFERENCES `tbl_chit` (`id`)
) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1 |
The View:
 
<div class="form">
<?php $form=$this->beginWidget('CActiveForm', array(
	'id'=>'abstract-image-form',
	'enableAjaxValidation'=>false,
        'htmlOptions'=>array(

	<p class="note">Fields with <span class="required">*</span> are required.</p>
