Uploading files in to Files folder - php

Question

I want to upload files in to webroot/files folder, but my controller doing nothing, is there any mistake ?
View file name: uploadfile.ctp
Controller name: UploadFileController.php
Model name: UploadFile.php
In my view file I have:
<div class="files">
<input type="file" name="files[]" /><br/>
</div>
<button type="button" class="plus">+</button> <br><br>
<form name="frm1" method="post" onsubmit="return greeting()">
<input type="submit" value="Submit">
</form>
<?php echo $this->Html->script('addFile');
addFile script :
$(document).ready(function() {
$(".plus").click(function() {
$(".files").append("<input type='file' name='files[]'/><br/>");
});
});
And my Controller, I think that a mistake is somewhere here :
public function uploadFile() {
$uploadedFile = $this->request->params['UploadFile']['files[]']['tmp_name'];
$dir = WWW_ROOT . 'files/';
if ( !is_dir( $dir ) ) {
mkdir($dir);
chmod( $dir , 777);
}
$fileName = 'file_' . date( 'Y_m_d_h_i_s', time() );
move_uploaded_file( $uploadedFile, $dir. $fileName);
}
I got one Notice to:
Notice (8): Undefined index: UploadFile [APP\Controller\UploadFileController.php, line 7]
Thank you for any clue !

Solution
View File (uploadfile.ctp) :
<?php
echo $this->Form->create('uploadFile', array( 'type' => 'file'));
?>
<div class="input_fields_wrap">
<label for="uploadFilefiles"></label>
<input type="file" name="data[]" id="uploadFilefiles">
</div>
<button type="button" class="add_field_button">+</button> <br><br>
<form name="frm1" method="post" onsubmit="return greeting()">
<input type="submit" value="Submit">
</form>
<?php
echo $this->Html->script('addFile');
Controller (UploadFileController.php) :
class UploadFileController extends AppController {
public function uploadFile() {
$filename = '';
if ($this->request->is('post')) { // checks for the post values
$uploadData = $this->data;
//print_r($this->data); die;
foreach($uploadData as $file){
if ( $file['size'] == 0 || $file['error'] !== 0) { // checks for the errors and size of the uploaded file
return false;
}
$filename = basename($file['name']); // gets the base name of the uploaded file
$uploadFolder = WWW_ROOT. 'files'; // path where the uploaded file has to be saved
$filename = $filename; // adding time stamp for the uploaded image for uniqueness
$uploadPath = $uploadFolder . DS . $filename;
if( !file_exists($uploadFolder) ){
mkdir($uploadFolder); // creates folder if not found
}
if (!move_uploaded_file($file['tmp_name'], $uploadPath)) {
return false;
}
echo "Filename: $filename<br>";
}
}
}
}
Script (addFile.js) :
$(document).ready(function() {
var max_fields = 2;
var wrapper = $(".input_fields_wrap");
var add_button = $(".add_field_button");
var x = 1;
$(add_button).click(function(e){
e.preventDefault();
if(x <= max_fields){
x++;
$(wrapper).append("<div><input type='file' name='data[]' id='uploadFilefiles'/><button href='#' class='remove_field'>Kustuta</button></div>");
}
});
$(wrapper).on("click",".remove_field", function(e){ //user click on kustuta text
e.preventDefault(); $(this).parent('div').remove(); x--;
})
});
