File Upload into the Application folder - Zend framework 3 - php

Question

i want to upload a file from the form into my Application folder(public/img/clientes/).
my form file upload field:
$this->add(array(
'name' => 'foto',
'attributes' => array(
'type' => 'file',
),
'options' => array(
'label' => 'Logo da empresa:',
),
));
my add action function on the controller:
public function addAction()
{
$form = new ClienteForm();
if ($this->getRequest()->isPost()) {
$data = $this->params()->fromPost();
$form->setData($data);
if ($form->isValid()) {
$data = $form->getData();
$name = $data['foto'];
if(isset($name)){
if(!empty($name)){
$location = __DIR__."../../../public/img/clientes/";
if(!move_uploaded_file($name, $location)){
return $this->redirect()->toRoute('home');
}
}
}
$this->clienteManager->addNewCliente($data);
return $this->redirect()->toRoute('clientes');
}
}
return new ViewModel([
'form' => $form
]);
}
I cant seam to find the reason for this not to workIf anyone could help me with a solution here i would be incredibly grateful.

Hope everything is self-descriptive here. Just the upload location is a bit strange. As every request is handled through index.php by ZF and this file uses chdir(dirname(__DIR__)) method to go to upper level, so everything is relative to the application root. That's why we can access directly public/img/clientes, in this case. But the recommendation set it via the configuration in module.config.php. And make it available using ServiceManager.
Make sure your upload directory has a right permission.
...
if ($this->getRequest()->isPost()) {
// Merge data thus
$data = array_merge_recursive(
$this->getRequest()->getPost()->toArray(),
$this->getRequest()->getFiles()->toArray()
);
$form->setData($data);
if ($form->isValid()) {
$data = $form->getData();
// Upload path
$location = "public/img/clientes/";
// A bit validation of uploaded file
$allowedExtension = array('jpg', 'jpeg', 'png');
$extension = explode('.', $data['foto']['name']);
$extension = end($extension);
$fileName = time() . '.' . $extension;
// Check if everything is OK!
if (0 === $data['foto']['error'] && in_array($extension, $allowedExtension)) {
move_uploaded_file($data['foto']['tmp_name'], $location . $fileName);
} else {
echo 'Something went wrong!';
}
}
}
