CakePHP image upload by josegonzalez pulgin - php

Question

I am trying to image upload in cakephp by using https://github.com/josegonzalez/cakephp-upload this plugin.I have almost done upload, now the problem is image directory not sending correctly. Here is the image
In controller I have add this code
public function add() {
if ($this->request->is('post')) {
$this->User->create();
$data = $this->request->data['User'];
if(!$data['photo']['name'])
unset($data['photo']);
if ($this->User->save($data)) {
$this->Session->setFlash(__('The img has been saved.'));
} else {
$this->Session->setFlash(__("The img hasn't been saved."));
}
}
}
And in add.ctp code is
<?php echo $this->Form->create('User', array('type'=>'file')); ?>
<fieldset>
<legend><?php echo __('Add Img'); ?></legend>
<?php
echo $this->Form->input('User.username');
echo $this->Form->input('photo',array('type'=>'file'));
echo $this->Form->input('User.photo_dir', array('type' => 'hidden'));
?>
</fieldset>
<?php echo $this->Form->end(__('Submit')); ?>
Here is the user.php model code
class User extends AppModel {
public $actsAs = array(
'Upload.Upload' => array(
'photo' => array(
'fields' => array(
'dir' => 'photo_dir'
)
)
)
);
}
photo_dir field type is varchar(255)
photo is uploading webroot\img\upload folder
How can I send full url in database table?May any body help me please?

Your controller code could look like this:
public function add() {
if ($this->request->is('post')) {
$this->User->create();
$data = $this->request->data['User'];
if(!$data['photo']['name'])
unset($data['photo']);
$data['photo']['name']='/img/upload/'.$data['photo']['name']
if ($this->User->save($data)) {
$this->Session->setFlash(__('The img has been saved.'));
} else {
$this->Session->setFlash(__("The img hasn't been saved."));
}
}
}
However this isn't actually doing any uploading and it isn't following cake's conventions very strictly.
This is a proper upload (snip-it) without the use of a plugin. Note: this is actual code from a site that kept track of teams.
controller
public function add() {
if ($this->request->is('post')) {
$this->Player->create();
if(isset($this->request->data['Player']['upload'])) {
foreach($this->request->data['Player']['upload'] as $key => $upload) {
$file=$upload;
$path=APP.'webroot/img/Players/'.$file['name'];
while(file_exists($path)) {
$r=rand(1,10000);
$file['name']=$r.$file['name'];
$path=APP.'webroot/img/Players/'.$file['name'];
}
if ($file['error'] == 0) {
if (move_uploaded_file($file['tmp_name'], $path)) {
$this->request->data['Player'][$key]='Players/'.$file['name'];;
} else {
$this->Session->setFlash(__('Something went wrong. Please try again.'));
$this->redirect(array('action' => 'index'));
}
}
}
}
if ($this->Player->save($this->request->data)) {
$this->Session->setFlash(__('The player has been saved.'), 'default', array('class' => 'alert alert-success'));
return $this->redirect(array('action' => 'index'));
} else {
$this->Session->setFlash(__('The player could not be saved. Please, try again.'), 'default', array('class' => 'alert alert-danger'));
}
}
$teams = $this->Player->Team->find('list');
$ranks = $this->Player->Rank->find('list');
$this->set(compact('teams', 'ranks'));
}
view
<?php echo $this->Form->create('Player', array('role' => 'form', 'type' => 'file')); ?>
<?php echo $this->Form->input('team_id', array('class' => 'form-control', 'placeholder' => 'Team Id'));?>
<?php echo $this->Form->input('rank_id', array('class' => 'form-control', 'placeholder' => 'Rank Id'));?>
<?php echo $this->Form->input('name', array('class' => 'form-control', 'placeholder' => 'Name'));?>
<?php echo $this->Form->input('upload', array('class' => 'form-control', 'placeholder' => 'Name'));?>
