Ci4 Pass Uploaded Image from Controller to Model

Hi,
Is it possible to pass an uploaded image file to a model for processing, something like:

PHP Code:

$file = $this->request->getFile('image');
$id = $this->request->getPost('id');
$image_use = $this->request->getPost('image_use');
            
$process_image = new \App\Models\Admin\Image_manager;
$this->$data['result']=$process_image->save_image($file, $id, $image_use); 


Thanks in advance

Yes, it's possible. The model are just a PHP-class like everything else. But you are trying to store it in your database? You should store it as a BLOB, but i don't recommend it. Keep it as a file.
