audio upload in cakephp2.4 - cakephp

Question

I want to upload audio files (type mp3,acc,wav) I am using cakephp 2.4.1 stable and php5 stable. I have tried mime_content_type,finfo_file to check if uploaded file is audio file with either mp3,acc or wav type. But I get this
`error mime_content_type(059.piya basanti re... [piya basanti][2000].mp3): failed to open stream: No such file or directory [APP/Controller/AdminController.php, line 86]`
My app dir and webroot dir are permited with 0777.
Here is my view.ctp code :
<?= $this->Form->create('Homepage',array('type'=>'file'));
echo $this->Form->input('audio_1',array('type'=>'file'));
echo $this->Form->submit('Submit');
echo $this->Form->end(); ?>
my Controller code
public function saveaudio() {
if($this->request->is('post')) {
$this->loadModel('Homepage');
//this is line 86// $file = mime_content_type($this->request->data['Homepage']['audio_1']['name']);
pr($file);exit;
}
and here is my data
Array
(
[Homepage] => Array
(
[audio_1] => Array
(
[name] => 059.piya basanti re... [piya basanti][2000].mp3
[type] =>
[tmp_name] =>
[error] => 1
[size] => 0
)
)
)
My question is :
How I can check type of file? First I want to check its mime type then I want to save it
Why I am not getting tmp_name for uploaded file?
Why I am getting error for mime_content_type?
Can anyone explain me? It would be helpfull to me

Answer 1

Look at the data, the upload was discarded as there's an error. 1 equals UPLOAD_ERR_INI_SIZE, and the cause for this is:
The uploaded file exceeds the upload_max_filesize directive in php.ini.
See http://php.net/manual/features.file-upload.errors.php
So you have to increase that value, and most probably also post_max_size, see http://php.net/manual/features.file-upload.common-pitfalls.php for more information.
And once the uploading works, you'll have to use the correct keys, it's audio_1, not audio_, also you'll then have to use tmp_name, ie this:
$this->request->data['Homepage']['audio_']['name']
should be this
$this->request->data['Homepage']['audio_1']['tmp_name']
On a side note, mime_content_type is deprecated in favour of the Fileinfo extension.
