Yii 1.1 General Discussion

Hi everybody

i want to create a form to update a user profile picture.

1- save the picture in the server

2- save the path of the picture in the user table in the DB.

This is my form




<div class="form" >

 

    <?php $form=$this->beginWidget('CActiveForm', array(

            'enableAjaxValidation'=>true,

            'id'=>'formPhoto',

        'htmlOptions'=>array('enctype'=>'multipart/form-data',

            ),

    )); ?>

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

<div class="row" >

                <?php echo $model->getThumbnail(); ?>

            <br>

		<?php echo $form->labelEx($model,'filename'); ?>

                

                <?php echo CHtml::activeFileField($model, 'picture'); // see comments below ?>





<div class="row buttons" id="dvPhotoSubmit">

		<?php echo CHtml::submitButton($model->isNewRecord ? 'EditPicture' : 'Save'); ?>

                

</div>

</div>

 

<?php $this->endWidget(); ?>

</div>

This is the controller




public function actionEditPicture(){

	  

	  	// Add page breadcrumb and title

		$this->addPageTitle(Yii::t(__CLASS__, 'Edit your profile'));

		$this->addBreadcrumb(Yii::t(__CLASS__, 'Edit Picture'), array('user/editPicture'));

	  

                $model = new User();

                if(isset($_POST["User"])){

                    $model->attributes=$_POST["User"];

                    $model->picture = CUploadedFile::getInstance($model, 'picture');

                   [b] $model->picture->saveAs('/images/user/user.jpg');[/b]

                    $user = User::model()->findByPk(Yii::app()->user->id);

                    $user->picture = '/images/user/unknown-person.jpg';

                        //redirect to success pqge

                    

           }

             $profileUser = User::model()->findByPk(Yii::app()->user->id);	  	

                $this->render('profile_editpicture', array('profileUser'=>$profileUser,'model'=>$model));   

	}

Where is your images folder supposed to be?

If it’s in the webroot:


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

$model->attributes=$_POST['UserDetails'];

                        $model->photo=CUploadedFile::getInstance($model,'image');

                     if($model->save())

                        {

                           

                                $model->photo->saveAs($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].Yii::app()->request->baseUrl.'/uploads/'.$model->image->name);

the Problem is that i have already a profile picture and i want to change it, so i have to upload a picture in the server, and change the user data and put the new path for the profile picture.

and now i have a new error

move_uploaded_file: failed to open stream: Permission denied

9

u got the error on save ?

10

You mean SaveAs()

now it works very good, and i can find the file in the server.

thank you for your help.

11

ok…ok so the error is on disply, right ?

12

i think the problem is with the path

i used like this in one of my application, to display


'<img src="patients/'.$id.'/'.$dat->photo.'.jpg" width="182" height="169" />'
