Can you post your code for file upload.

Dan

After the call to upload_file, how do you get the new_file_name?

Hi Frocco

Assign a variable to the upload_file method and then use the json method to view what is returned.
Then you'll see how to view the new filename.

thanks for the suggestion, just tried it and it returns null

Yes, I tested and you are right and I believe I ran into the same issue before.

In the upload_file method in Trongate.php it doesn't return anything.

So you could add return $new_file_name; but it will be overwritten later on future updates.

Perhaps try copying that method into your controller file and then add the return $new_file_name; at the end.

Correct, I ended up doing as you suggested and copied the upload function to my controller and returning the file name.
Problem solved, but I think Trongate.php needs to be enhanced.

When you upload a file, in PHP, you create a $_FILES superglobal.

You can view this by going to your submit endpoint and adding:



This will give you a summary of some key information to do with your uploaded file. For example,



So, the code for getting the file name is:



WEAKNESSES & POSSIBLE IMPROVEMENTS

I think there are a couple of improvements that could be made with the system we have. Specifically,

* Clean the filename to remove potentially problematic characters like spaces.

* Return the filename after the upload has happened.


We have a wave of framework updates coming very soon (all non-breaking changes). I'll try my best to add those tweaks shortly.

Thanks Dave, looking forward to them.

Cheers dude.
