Re: Multiple file Upload through related model (CakePHP bug?)

I found a solution by myself! :D

Analysing the cakephp dispatcher (dispatcher.php) I found that it
doesn't have support for this kind of multiple upload.

I'm using 1.2.5 version. At line 312 of dispatcher.php starts a
verification for file data:

if (isset($_FILES['data'])) {
foreach ($_FILES['data'] as $key => $data) {
foreach ($data as $model => $fields) {
if (is_array($fields)) {
foreach ($fields as $field => $value) {
if (is_array($value)) {
foreach ($value as $k => $v) {
$params['data'][$model][$field][$k][$key] = $v;
}
} else {
$params['data'][$model][$field][$key] = $value;
}
}
} else {
$params['data'][$model][$key] = $fields;
}
}
}
}

this is the original structure.

I made a modification inside the deepest foreach (line 319)

the original content of this for block:
$params['data'][$model][$field][$k][$key] = $v;

its now inside the else:
foreach ($value as $k => $v) {
// this if does the magic!
if(is_array($v)) {
$vk = key($v);
$vv = $v[$vk];
$params['data'][$model][$field][$k][$vk][$key] = $vv;
} else {
$params['data'][$model][$field][$k][$key] = $v;
}
}

And now, it's working fine!

What do you guys think??
