Re: Save Uploaded/Parsed File to Database Table

Thank you for such a quick response, and yes I can not get the file to save in my database. Now to answer some of your questions...yes Coverage can only have one spreadsheet, and yes my spreadsheet table has a coverage_id field. With that said, I added 

die(debug(uploadedFile)); 

$CoverageId = $this->id;

and this is what I see in the view 

Array  (      [name] => SLT.xls      [type] => application/vnd.ms-excel      [tmp_name] => /tmp/phpH03DuW      [error] => 0      [size] => 36352  )

All I need from this array is the file name. Now with that said, I read alot of articles online about saving files to a database. Some people think it is better to save to the file system rather than the database. In my case I think the best thing for me to do is save the file in my db. My only question is "If I save the files to my database will it affect the performance of my website over time?" 

Now as far as my view goes..do I need to add an input for user_id and coverage_id as hidden fields?
