How to handle FILE input type when saving form information?

Hi:

I'm having some problems handling file uploads and database saving. I have a table where I need to store the route where uploaded files are saved but not know how to achieve this. I found this  http://cakebaker.42dh.com/2006/04/15/file-upload-with-cakephp/  and I'm trying to adjust my code to fit the requirements. Now my code is this one:

public function add() {

if ($this->request->is('post') && is_uploaded_file($this->request->data['Information']['picture']['tmp_name'])) {

// Handling file uploads

$fileData = fread(fopen($this->request->data['Information']['picture']['tmp_name'], "r", $this->request->data['Information']['picture']['size']));

$this->data['Information']['name'] = $this->request->data['Information']['picture']['name']; 

$this->Information->create();

if ($this->Information->saveAll($this->request->data)) {

$this->Session->setFlash(__('The information has been saved'), 'flash_success');

$this->redirect(array('action' => 'index'));

} else {

$this->Session->setFlash(__('The information could not be saved. Please, try again.'), 'flash_error');

}

}

$countries = $this->Information->Country->find('list');

$this->set(compact('countries'));

}

and have two questions around it: how to setup where uploaded files goes? how to add this route to query? I mean for save the route in my DB

Any advice or help?

Cheers
