Uploading a file, moving it, and adding related info - El Forum - 08-15-2010
[eluser]aaronr[/eluser]
I am wondering if there is some kind of example code out there showing how to upload a file with a description, title, etc.
I have a form that is storing information in the database, but I need users to be able to attache a file to the entry in the databse. I would like to be able to renamed the filename to the ID of that entry.
Does anyone know of a simple tutorial on how to do that? I see a lot of tutorials show how to upload, but nothing that shows you how to upload and move a file to a filename AND store other information associated with the file.
thanks

Have you looked at the File Uploading Class in the user guide?
The code there demonstrates how to do a file upload, and the class allows you to specify a filename instead of the original.
For additional data, you're going to need to store that in the database. Usually, I just store the filename as a key in the record in the database, so I can easily find the data related to a given file or vice versa.

Thanks Jeremy, I looked at the File Upload class and it makes sense overall, but I wasn't sure how to combine submitting data to the DB and uploading in the same "page" (or controller).
I think the URL that is mentioned below shows me what I need to do.
thank you for you time
