    Hello readers, if you are looking for a code to upload multiple file in CakePHP where user can upload more than one image through input browse box, then your are in a right place i.e findnerd.com.

    Here is a quick tutorial which will explain how to use HTML5 multiple file upload tag with CakePHP.

    HTML 5 Multiple fle Tag: <input name = 'upload[]' type = 'file multiple'>

    Now, we need to use CakePHP form helper in our ctp file to achieve multiple file upload which is equivalent to HTML 5 multiple file tag.

    Upload.ctp

    1. <?php
    2. echo $this->Form->create('User', array('type' => 'file'));
    3. echo $this->Form->input('files.', array('type' => 'file', 'multiple'));
    4. echo $this->Form->end('Upload');
    5. ?>

    Adding a dot . like file. in the end of the name shows all the images selected.
    Suppose, if you upload two files  MY.jpg & YOU.jpg

    Now, use $this->request->data property in your controller function.

    1. public function upload()
    2.  {
    3.   print_r($this->request->data); die;
    4.  }

    this will give us something like this:

    1. Array
    2. (
    3.     [Model] => Array
    4.         (
    5.             [files] => Array
    6.                 (
    7.                     [0] => Array
    8.                         (
    9.                             [name] => MY.jpg
    10.                             [type] => image/jpeg
    11.                             [tmp_name] => // your temp path
    12.                             [error] => 0
    13.                             [size] => 1826587
    14.                         )
    15.                     [1] => Array
    16.                         (
    17.                             [name] => YOU.jpg
    18.                             [type] => image/jpeg
    19.                             [tmp_name] => //your temp path
    20.                             [error] => 0
    21.                             [size] => 1127346
    22.                         )
    23.         )
    24. )
