Multi file upload + textInput - doesn't save in db (yii2) - php

Question

I am using yii2 basic and wanted to make a gallery, so I made use of multi file upload. All working fine, till I added a text input ('year').
GalleryController.php
public function actionCreate()
{
$model = new MultipleUploadForm();
$year;
if (Yii::$app->request->isPost) {
$model->files = UploadedFile::getInstances($model, 'files');
if ($model->gaUpload()) {
return $this->redirect(['index']);
}
}
return $this->render('create', ['model' => $model]);
}
MultipleUploadForm :
class MultipleUploadForm extends Model
{
/**
* #var UploadedFile[] files uploaded
*/
public $files;
public $year;
public function rules()
{
return [
[['files'], 'file', 'skipOnEmpty' => false, 'maxFiles' => 0],
[['year'], 'string'],
];
}
public function gaUpload()
{
if ($this->validate()) {
foreach ($this->files as $file) {
$model2 = new Gallery();
$model2->img = $file->baseName . '_' . rand(100,999) . '.' . $file->extension;
$model2->save_dir = 'uploads/gallery/';
$model2->year = $this->year;
$file->saveAs($model2->save_dir . $model2->img);
$model2->save();
}
return true;
} else {
return false;
}
}
}
Gallery:
class Gallery extends \yii\db\ActiveRecord
{
/**
* {#inheritdoc}
*/
public static function tableName()
{
return 'cgallery';
}
/**
* {#inheritdoc}
*/
public function rules()
{
return [
[['year', 'img', 'save_dir'], 'required'],
[['img', 'save_dir', 'year'], 'string', 'max' => 1024],
];
}
/**
* {#inheritdoc}
*/
public function attributeLabels()
{
return [
'id' => 'ID',
'year' => 'Year',
'img' => 'Img',
'save_dir' => 'Save Dir',
];
}
}
_form.php:
<?php $form = ActiveForm::begin(['options' => ['enctype' => 'multipart/form-data'], ]); ?>
<?= $form->field($model, 'year')->textInput()?>
<?php
echo '<label class="control-label">Add Pictures</label>';
echo FileInput::widget([
'model' => $model,
'attribute' => 'files[]',
'pluginOptions' => [
'showRemove' => false,
'uploadLabel' => 'Save',
'uploadIcon' => '',
'browseLabel' => '',
'fileExtensions' => 'any',
],
'options' => ['multiple' => true]
]);
?>
<?php ActiveForm::end(); ?>
If I take 'year' out of the process, like : $model2->year = '2010' it work's just fine. I might need to add, that the files get uploaded (into the dir), but it won't get saved to the database.
Has anyone an idea what i did wrong?
EDIT:
Thanks to Wynton Franklin for the help.
The solution was to add the line:
$model->load(\Yii::$app->request->post());
Changed GalleryController.php:
public function actionCreate()
{
$model = new MultipleUploadForm();
$model->load(\Yii::$app->request->post());
if (Yii::$app->request->isPost) {
$model->files = UploadedFile::getInstances($model, 'files');
if ($model->gaUpload()) {
return $this->redirect(['index']);
}
}
return $this->render('create', ['model' => $model]);
}

In your controller year is not begin set. Check that.
if (Yii::$app->request->isPost) {
$model->year = $_POST[][] // or however you do it in yii
$model->files = UploadedFile::getInstances($model, 'files');
if ($model->gaUpload()) {
return $this->redirect(['index']);
}
}
