Easy Way To Upload Files Up To Your Server

The easyest answer to question: "How to I can upload files to server?" Is - File Handler Component, written by Chris Partridge.

(You can find fresh version of this component at Code Snippet)

Just one moment! Do not use

$html->file ('UserFile');

Because construction

$_FILES['data[User][File]'] doesn't work (PHP 4.1.* at least).

So use standart html code:

<input type="file" name="userfile">

Then

$this->filehandler->upload('userfile','dir');

Remember, You must creating directory at your webroot ;-)

With 777 access ;-)

Probably the most important variable, this determines how the
file is handled within the component.
There are two options, db and array.
db:
This will use the dbModel and dbFields variables to save the
file data to the database. When getLastUploadInfo() is requested,
it will return the id aswell as all the other information.
A specific table and model need to be created for this to work.
When saved, it will be placed in $dir/$file_id/$filename
(e.g 'files/25/some_file.zip')
array:
This will take the uploaded file and store it. When getLastUploadInfo()
is run, it will return all information related to the file.
The information will be returned in the format of the dbFields array.
The unique directory name will be appended to the dir variable.
When saved, it will be placed in $dir/$unique_id/$filename
(e.g 'files/a438sdu4s/some_file.zip')
If you wish to save information about array uploads, you must
do so manually with the return data from getLastUploadInfo()
