file upload problem in admin backend - custom component

[Mike eco]

In my custom component/admin, in the item edit template I am trying to let the user upload a file.

The problem is that the file is not being passed in my save function. There is not even in the array as key.

If I remove the **enctype="multipart/form-data"** from the form (which is wrong because no file will be passed) then the field comes with the filename as string.

[docfile] => my_file_to_upload.docx

but with the enctype="multipart/form-data" then, the result is :

    2018-07-28T07:10:12+00:00       DEBUG 127.0.0.1 save_override_function_in_model Data $data : Array
    (
        [id] => 2
        [title] => test
        [alias] => test-test
        [catid] => 0
        [client_id] => 240
        [published] => 0
        [created] => 2018-07-20 06:07:43
        [tags] =>
    )

Here is the form in the tmpl/edit.php

    <form action="<?php echo JRoute::_('index.php?option=com_comtest&layout=edit&id=' . (int) $this->item->id); ?>" method="post"
          id="adminForm" enctype="multipart/form-data" class="form-validate">
      <div class="form-horizontal">
        <fieldset class="adminform">
          <?php echo JHtml::_('bootstrap.startPane', 'myTab', array('active' => 'details')); ?>
          <?php
          echo JHtml::_('bootstrap.addPanel', 'myTab', 'details', empty($this->item->id) ?
                          JText::_('COM_COMTEST_NEW_CONTRACT', true) :
                          JText::sprintf('COM_COMTEST_EDIT_CONTRACT', $this->item->id, true));
          ?>
          <div class="row-fluid">
            <?php echo JLayoutHelper::render('joomla.edit.title_alias', $this); ?>
          </div>
          <div class="row-fluid">
            <div class="span6">
              <?php echo $this->form->renderField('catid'); ?>
              <?php echo $this->form->renderField('client_id'); ?>
              <?php echo $this->form->renderField('published'); ?>
              <?php echo $this->form->renderField('created'); ?>
              <?php echo $this->form->renderField('docfile'); ?>
            </div>
          </div>
          <?php echo JHtml::_('bootstrap.endPanel'); ?>
          <input type="hidden" name="task" value="" />
          <?php echo JHtml::_('form.token'); ?>
          <?php echo JHtml::_('bootstrap.endPane'); ?>
        </fieldset>
      </div>
    </form>

The field in the xml models/forms/ is :

    <field name="docfile" type="file" label="Select File" description="Select a doc/docx file to upload"
             size="40" accept=".doc, .docx" />

and here is the overriden save function in the model

    public function save($data = null, $key = null) {
        JRequest::checkToken() or die('Invalid Token');
        $file = JFactory::getApplication()->input->get('docfile');
        jimport('joomla.filesystem.folder');
        jimport('joomla.filesystem.file');
   
        JLog::add('Post $_POST : ' . print_r($_POST, TRUE), JLog::DEBUG, 'save_override_function_in_model');
        JLog::add('Data $data : ' . print_r($data, TRUE), JLog::DEBUG, 'save_override_function_in_model');
        JLog::add('File $file : ' . print_r($file, TRUE), JLog::DEBUG, 'save_override_function_in_model');
   
        return parent::save($data);
    }


// and theese are the log entries from the save function :

Files available in $_FILES. http://php.net/manual/en/reserved.variables.files.php
And you can access uploaded files as

$files = $this->input->files->get('docfile', array(), 'array');

[Maciek Wołpiuk]

Try

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<form>

<fieldset>

<field

name="id"

type="hidden"

/>

<field

name="file"

type="file"

label="Enter some text"

description=""

size="10"

/>

</fieldset>

</form>

$input = JFactory::getApplication()->input;

$files = $input->files->get('jform', null, 'raw');

or just var_dump($_FILES);

Beware if U use JFile::upload() some files could be moved, cause Joomla use library to find some unsafe content.
