Question

I have a form which has action="process.php". Inside that php file there is a function followed by some code which calls the function, like this:

function uploadImage($fileName, $maxSize, $maxW, $fullPath) {
    // .... does stuff
}

$filename = strip_tags($_REQUEST['filename']);
$maxSize = strip_tags($_REQUEST['maxSize']);
$maxW = strip_tags($_REQUEST['maxW']);
$fullPath = strip_tags($_REQUEST['fullPath']);

if($filesize_image > 0){
    $upload_image = uploadImage($filename, $maxSize, $maxW, $fullPath);
}

I want to use this code in a cakephp app which requires me to cakeify things by turning it into controller actions.

I thought I’d be able to sperate the function into a seperate action and create another function with the other code that calls the first function in it, ie:

function uploadImage($fileName, $maxSize, $maxW, $fullPath) {
    //.... does stuff
}

function calluploadImage() {
    $filename = strip_tags($_REQUEST['filename']);
    $maxSize = strip_tags($_REQUEST['maxSize']);
    $maxW = strip_tags($_REQUEST['maxW']);
    $fullPath = strip_tags($_REQUEST['fullPath']);
    if($filesize_image > 0){
    $upload_image = uploadImage($filename, $maxSize, $maxW, $fullPath);
    }
}

and then make the form’s action just action="calluploadImage" but that returns the error:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function uploadimage() in
C:\xampp\htdocs\cakephp\app\controllers\campaigns_controller.php on
line 102

Can someone help me out? 🙂

Answer 1

You are calling uploadImage withour $this->

replace

$upload_image = uploadImage($filename, $maxSize, $maxW, $fullPath);

to:

$upload_image = $this->uploadImage($filename, $maxSize, $maxW, $fullPath);
