Hi:
Am not sure if this is the best algorithm to go about saving a record and uploading (plus moving to another directory) files. I feel i need another algorithm?
if (self::post()->isPost()) {
#check if there is any file
if($this->request->hasFiles() == true){
$uploads = $this->request->getUploadedFiles();
$isUploaded = false;
#do a loop to handle each file individually
foreach($uploads as $upload){
#define a "unique" name and a path to where our file must go
$path = 'temp/'.md5(uniqid(rand(), true)).'-'.strtolower($upload->getname());
#move the file and simultaneously check if everything was ok
if($upload->moveTo($path)) {
#Build an array to be sent to the API for moving the uploaded file to front end directory
$files="";
$files = array(
'name' => $upload->getName(),
'link' => $this->di['url']->get('temp/' . $upload->getName()),
'direction' => 'adverts'
);
$saveResult = self::request()->request('move-advert/', array('file' => $files), 'POST');
if($saveResult->response == 'success') $isUploaded = true; else $isUploaded = false;
}
}
#if any file couldn't be moved, then throw an message
if($isUploaded) {
$save_response = self::request()->request('advert/' . $id, self::editValues(self::post()->getPost()), 'POST');
if ($save_response->response == 'success')
{
$this->flashSession->success('Advert Updated');
return $this->response->redirect('adverts/list-adverts');
} else {
$this->flashSession->notice('Could not update Advert');
}
} else {
$this->flashSession->notice('Some error ocurred. Please try again');
}
}else {
$this->flashSession->notice('You must Choose an advert image');
}
}
Any suggestions?
