Single Image Upload to $user template

[mr-fan]

i've searched many times for just upload single images on user template without creating a new page...and best found was the gist from soma:

https://gist.github.com/somatonic/4150974

But i've stucked don't get the upload working on this....if i did a var_dump on the upload array it is emty...hit my head on the wall while searching the issue...

my edited code with some debug messages:

<?php //color the code somas code below

// front-end form example with multiple images upload
// add new page created on the fly and adding images
if($input->post->user_img){
// tmp upload folder for additional security
$upload_path = $config->paths->root . "tmp_uploads/";
 // new wire upload
$u = new WireUpload('user_img');
$u->setMaxFiles(1);
$u->setOverwrite(true);
$u->setDestinationPath($upload_path);
$u->setValidExtensions(array('jpg', 'jpeg'));
// execute upload and check for errors
$files = $u->execute();
  //just some checks whats going on...$files is empty  $upload_path seems to be right!
  $successMessage .= var_dump($files);
  $successMessage .= $upload_path.'<br>';
if(!$u->getErrors()){
// add images upload
foreach($files as $filename) {
  $successMessage .= $filename;
$user->user_img = $upload_path . $filename;
}
// save page
$user->save();
// remove all tmp files uploaded
foreach($files as $filename)
//unlink($upload_path . $filename);
$successMessage .= "<p class='message'>Files {$filename} uploaded!</p>";
} else {
// remove files
foreach($files as $filename)
//unlink($upload_path . $filename);
// get the errors
foreach($u->getErrors() as $error) $errorMessage .= "<p class='error'>$error</p>";
}
}

And here is the form itself...it is in a var to echo the whole thing...with some options ans so on...

// display a user settings form
$settingsForm = "
<!-- general form elements -->
<div class='box box-primary'>
    <div class='box-header'>
        <h3 class='box-title'>Voreinstellungen ändern:</h3>
    </div><!-- /.box-header -->
    <!-- form start -->
    <form name='settings' role='form' action='./' method='post'>
        <div class='box-body'>
            <div class='form-group'>
                <label for='user_an'>Auswahl Auftragnehmer</label>
                <select name='user_an' class='form-control' id='user_an'>
                    ".$optionsLu."
                </select>
            </div>
            <div class='form-group'>
                <label for='user_mr'>Auswahl Maschinenring</label>
                <select name='user_mr' class='form-control' id='user_mr'>
                    ".$optionsMr."
                </select>
            </div>
            <div class='form-group'>
                <label for='exampleInputFile'>Profilbild ändern</label>
                <input name='user_img' type='file' id='user_img' accept='image/jpg,image/jpeg'>
                <p class='help-block'>Nur jpg Bilder sind erlaubt!</p>
            </div>
        </div><!-- /.box-body -->

        <div class='box-footer'>
            <button type='submit' class='btn btn-primary'>Ändern</button>
        </div>
    </form>
</div><!-- /.box -->
";

Really have no clue why the upload array is emtpy?

Your problem is actually in the html, not in the php code. Forms are send in plaintext by default, so to upload files you need to add this to the form tag.

 <form … method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">…</form>

Hi mr-fan

1. You need to add enctype="multipart/form-data" to your form tag
2. Is "user_img" the name of your file input? If so, then I guess $input->post->user_img would return null, since this key is inside PHP's global $_FILES variable (not in $_POST)
