Yii2 - foreach loop to save all files path in database model - file

Question

Greetings,
i'm using a multiple file upload input in Yii2.
The multiole file input is saving very well the files selected inside a folder called audio.
The problen is i cannot inside foreach loop save the name and path of each file in the database model Faixas.php inside a field called ficheiro.
Here is my code:
Controller:
public function actionCreate()
{
$model = new Faixas();
if (Yii::$app->request->isPost) {
$model->files = UploadedFile::getInstances($model, 'files');
if ($model->upload()) {
return $this->render('create', ['model' => $model]);
}
}
return $this->render('create', ['model' => $model]);
}
The Model as a function named upload() to save the files in folder, but the part to save inside the model->ficheiro is not working (don't figure it out ?):
public function rules()
{
return [
[['nome', 'ficheiro', 'dummy1', 'dummy2', 'dummy3', 'dummy4', 'dummy5'], 'string', 'max' => 255],
[['files'], 'file', 'skipOnEmpty' => false, 'extensions' => 'mp3, ogg, webm', 'maxFiles' => 30],
];
}
public function upload()
{
$model = new Faixas();
if ($this->validate()) {
foreach ($this->files as $file) {
$file->saveAs('audio/' . $file->baseName . '.' . $file->extension);
// this part in not working, why ????
$filePath = 'audio/' . $file->baseName . '.' . $file->extension;
$model->ficheiro = $filePath;
$model->save();
}
return true;
} else {
return false;
}
}
And finally the view, which renders the input:
<?php $form = ActiveForm::begin(['options' => ['enctype' => 'multipart/form-data']]) ?>
<?= $form->field($model, 'files[]')->fileInput(['multiple' => true, 'accept' => 'audio/*']) ?>
<button>Submit</button>
Any ideas on the way to get it done?
Many thanks...
The entire Faixas.php model class:
<?php
namespace app\models;
use Yii;
/**
* This is the model class for table "faixas".
*
* #property integer $id
* #property string $nome
* #property string $ficheiro
* #property string $dummy1
* #property string $dummy2
* #property string $dummy3
* #property string $dummy4
* #property string $dummy5
*/
class Faixas extends \yii\db\ActiveRecord
{
/**
* #inheritdoc
*/
public static function tableName()
{
return 'faixas';
}
public $files;
/**
* #inheritdoc
*/
public function rules()
{
return [
[['nome', 'ficheiro', 'dummy1', 'dummy2', 'dummy3', 'dummy4', 'dummy5'], 'string', 'max' => 255],
[['files'], 'file', 'skipOnEmpty' => false, 'extensions' => 'mp3, ogg, webm', 'maxFiles' => 30],
];
}
public function upload()
{
if ($this->validate()) {
foreach ($this->files as $file) {
$file->saveAs('audio/' . $file->baseName . '.' . $file->extension);
$model = new Faixas();
// this part in not working, why ????
$filePath = 'audio/' . $file->baseName . '.' . $file->extension;
$model->ficheiro = $filePath;
$model->save();
}
return true;
} else {
return false;
}
}
/**
* #inheritdoc
*/
public function attributeLabels()
{
return [
'id' => Yii::t('app', 'ID'),
'nome' => Yii::t('app', 'Nome'),
'ficheiro' => Yii::t('app', 'Ficheiro'),
'dummy1' => Yii::t('app', 'Dummy1'),
'dummy2' => Yii::t('app', 'Dummy2'),
'dummy3' => Yii::t('app', 'Dummy3'),
'dummy4' => Yii::t('app', 'Dummy4'),
'dummy5' => Yii::t('app', 'Dummy5'),
];
}
// coloca o Audio na GridView
public function getAudio()
{
return \Yii::$app->request->BaseUrl.'/'.$this->ficheiro;
}
}

Answer 1

Seems you create the model in wrog place. You create a $model = new Faixas(); ouuside the loop. try creating inside.
public function upload()
{
if ($this->validate()) {
foreach ($this->files as $file) {
$file->saveAs('audio/' . $file->baseName . '.' . $file->extension);
$model = new Faixas();
$filePath = 'audio/' . $file->baseName . '.' . $file->extension;
$model->ficheiro = $filePath;
$model->save();
}
return true;
} else {
return false;
}
}

SOLVED... removed from the model file the rule:
[['files'], 'file', 'skipOnEmpty' => false, 'extensions' => 'mp3, ogg, webm', 'maxFiles' => 30],
Now the foreach() loop saves every file Path in the database.
Many thanks to all that somehow tried to achieve a solution.
