This question is related to my previous question where I'd created a tab form in admin using a template file. The content of template file is:
<div class="entry-edit">
<div class="entry-edit-head">
<h4 class="icon-head head-edit-form fieldset-legend">Images</h4>
</div>
<div class="fieldset">
<div class="hor-scroll">
<table class="form-list container">
<tr class="wrapper-tr">
<td class="value">
<input type="file" name="images[]"/>
</td>
<td class="label">
<span class="remove">Remove</span>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
<input type="button" class="add" value="Add Image"/>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<script>
jQuery(document).ready(function() {
jQuery('.add').click(function() {
var wrapper = "<tr class='wrapper-tr'>" +
"<td class='value'><input type='file' name='images[]'></td>" +
"<td class='label'><span class='remove'>Remove</span></td>" +
"</tr>";
jQuery(wrapper).find('.remove').on('click', function() {
jQuery(this).parent('.wrapper-tr').remove();
});
jQuery(wrapper).appendTo('.container');
});
jQuery('.container').on('click', 'span.remove', function() {
if (jQuery('.wrapper-tr').length > 1) {
jQuery(this).parents('.wrapper-tr').remove();
} else {
alert('at least one image need to be selected');
}
});
});
</script>
for uploading multiple files.
But as my input type name is images[]
that's why in my controller's saveAction()
I'm unable to upload file using Varien_File_Uploader
as:
$uploader = new Varien_File_Uploader('images');
what value should I pass in Varien_File_Uploader
constructor in order to be able to upload file?
Update
I tried logging and found this warning:
Warning: file_exists() expects parameter 1 to be a valid path, array given in /var/www/mageqb/lib/Varien/File/Uploader.php on line 150
Code in my controller is:
foreach ($_FILES['images']['name'] as $key => $image) {
Mage::log('looping');
if (empty($image)) {
Mage::log('continue');
continue;
}
try {
Mage::log('uploading');
$uploader = new Varien_File_Uploader('images');
// Any extention would work
$uploader->setAllowedExtensions(array('jpg', 'jpeg', 'gif', 'png'));
$uploader->setAllowRenameFiles(true);
$uploader->setFilesDispersion(false);
$path = Mage::getBaseDir('media') . DS . 'authors' . DS;
$img = $uploader->save($path, $_FILES['images']['name'][$key]);
Mage::log($img['file']);
} catch (Exception $e) {
echo $e->getMessage();
Mage::log($e->getMessage());
}
}
