Answer 1

You can’t send files like that.

You should either submit a form with enctype="multipart/form-data" or use some AJAX uploader (which uses form submit to iframe and then stores a file using PHP script).

EDIT: Some references

• http://www.w3schools.com/php/php_file_upload.asp – tutorial on how to upload a file using PHP

• http://valums.com/ajax-upload/ – example of ajax uploader.

EDIT2: The problem is not with your model code but with the way you try to submit a file.
