$form = $this->beginWidget(
'CActiveForm',
array(
'id' => 'upload-form',
'enableAjaxValidation' => false,
'htmlOptions' => array('enctype' => 'multipart/form-data'),
)
);
// ...
echo $form->labelEx($model, 'image');
echo $form->fileField($model, 'image');
echo $form->error($model, 'image');
// ...
echo CHtml::submitButton('Submit');
$this->endWidget();
and model code:
public $image;
/**
* #return string the associated database table name
*/
public function tableName()
{
return 'ee_car_types';
}
/**
* #return array validation rules for model attributes.
*/
public function rules()
{
// NOTE: you should only define rules for those attributes that
// will receive user inputs.
return array(
array( 'image', 'file', 'types' => 'jpg, gif, png'),
array('car_type', 'length', 'max'=>255),
// The following rule is used by search().
// #todo Please remove those attributes that should not be searched.
array('id, car_type', 'safe', 'on'=>'search'),
);
}
I think anything else is irelevent here. Please help me :)

Answer 1

**Replace your view code**
echo $form->fileField($model, 'image');
with
<?php echo CHtml::activeFileField($model, 'image'); ?>
**In your controller file**
if(isset($_POST['EeCarTypes']))
{
$rnd = rand(0,9999);
$model->attributes=$_POST['EeCarTypes'];
$uploadedFile=CUploadedFile::getInstance($model,'image');
$fileName = "{$rnd}-{$uploadedFile}";
$model->image = $fileName;
$model->attributes=$_POST['EeCarTypes'];
if($model->save()){
$uploadedFile->saveAs(Yii::app()->basePath.'/../images/upload/cartypes'.$fileName);
$this->redirect(array('index'));
}
}

At your model you should create a name property for the image and the field at the database. Then assign the file name to this property at your action method before you call the save(), like this:
$file = CUploadedFile::getInstance($model,'image');
$model->image_name = $file->name;
//use this if you want to save the file type but first create the image_type property
$model->image_type = $file->type;
[...]

Create an attribute with the name foto in your model EeCarTypes and look here
