Question

I’m trying to use MilesJ’s Upload plugin for CakePHP to upload a file via AJAX.

$this->Uploader = new Uploader();
$this->Uploader->setup(array('ajaxField' => 'qqfile'));
$data = $this->Uploader->upload($this->Uploader->ajaxField);

But it is returning false.

I haven’t found any mention on the FAQ about how to use AJAX. I just got to that code after reading from this ticket. But I’m not sure this is how I’m supposed to use the plugin to handle AJAX.

Answer 1

Problem solved. ajaxField must be passed when creating the object, not later using the setup().

$this->Uploader = new Uploader(array('ajaxField' => 'qqfile'));
$data = $this->Uploader->upload($this->Uploader->ajaxField);

This worked just fine.
