How can I insert image name in database in cakephp? - cakephp

Question

So far I have implemented is done below.
The problem that I am facing is i cannot update the file name and as a result I am getting an error, resulting the file from not being upload.
Controller:
public function add(){
if (!empty($this->data)) {
if (!empty($this->data['Note'])){
$filename = basename($this->data['Note']['note_image']['name']);
move_uploaded_file($this->data['Note']['note_image']['tmp_name'],WWW_ROOT . 'files' . DS . $filename);
if($this->Note->save($this->data['Note'])){
$this->Session->setFlash('The note has been saved');
$this->redirect(array('action' => 'add'));
}
}
}
}
View:
<?php
echo $this->Form->create('Note', array('type' => 'file'));
echo $this->Form->input('note_title');
echo $this->Form->input('note_desc');
echo $this->Form->input('note_image', array('type' => 'file'));
echo $this->Form->end('Add');
?>
I think save function will not be there. Is there a way to do it.

Code For Controller Should be like this :
public function add(){
if ($this->request->is('post') || $this->request->is('put')) {
$file = $this->request->data['Note']['note_image'];
if($file['error'] === UPLOAD_ERR_OK)
{
$filename = $file['name'];
if(move_uploaded_file($file['tmp_name'],WWW_ROOT . 'files' . DS . $filename))
{
$this->request->data['Note']['note_image'] = $filename;
if($this->Note->save($this->request->data)){
$this->Session->setFlash('The note has been saved');
$this->redirect(array('action' => 'add'));
}
}
}
else
{
$this->Session->setFlash('ERROR');
$this->redirect(array('action' => 'add'));
}
}
}
View Should be like this :
<?php
echo $this->Session->flash();
echo $this->Form->create('Note', array('enctype'=>'multipart/form-data'));
echo $this->Form->input('note_title');
echo $this->Form->input('note_desc');
echo $this->Form->input('note_image', array('type' => 'file'));
echo $this->Form->end('Add');
?>
