Re: Cakephp download function not working

It's not clear what you mean by "when i view the index.ctp manually
its not inserting any record in the table". Is a record being added to
the DB? If not, post your add() action in full.

But before doing that, check that the file is being uploaded.

if (!empty($this->request->data))
{
die(debug($this->request->data)); // or log it

Make sure that the form create options include 'type' => 'file' if the
file array isn't there.
