Need Help
1

I am trying to send data from a react native application to cakephp. 4.x as a backend, I am sending data from a form with a photo. My problem is the following the form data is saved in the database except the image. here is my backend code

public function addOffre()
{
    // Désactiver le layout et l'auto-render
    $this->viewBuilder()->disableAutoLayout();
    $this->autoRender = false;


    // Charger le modèle Offres
    $offresTable = $this->getTableLocator()->get('Offres');

    // Récupérer les données de la requête et les fichiers téléchargés
    $offreData = $this->request->getData();
    Log::debug('Data: ' . json_encode($this->request->getData()));
    $uploadedFiles = $this->request->getUploadedFiles();

    //Log::debug('Uploaded files: ' . json_encode($uploadedFiles));
    $fileNames = [];

    // Gérer le téléchargement des fichiers
    if (!empty($uploadedFiles['File'])) {
        $files = $uploadedFiles['File'];

        // Si un seul fichier est envoyé, le convertir en tableau pour itération
        if (!is_array($files)) {
            $files = [$files];
        }

        // Sauvegarder chaque fichier
        foreach ($files as $file) {

            //Log::debug('FileError: ' . json_encode($file->getError()));
            if ($file->getError() === UPLOAD_ERR_OK) {
                $targetDir = WWW_ROOT . 'uploads' . DS . 'Offres' . DS; 

                if (!is_dir($targetDir)) {
                    mkdir($targetDir, 0777, true);
                }

                $fileSize =  $file->getSize();
                Log::debug('Size: ' . $fileSize);

                $fileName = time() . '_' . $file->getClientFilename();
                $targetFile = $targetDir . $fileName;

                Log::debug('Chemin de destination: ' . $targetFile);

                if ($file->moveTo($targetFile)) {
                  $fileNames[] = 'uploads/Offres/' . $fileName;
                   Log::debug('File moved: ' . $fileName);
                } else {
                  Log::error('Failed to move file: ' . $file->getClientFilename().', Error '. $file->getError());
                }
            } else {
                Log::error('File upload error: ' . $file->getError());
            }
        }
    }
     
    $offreData['filename'] = implode(',', $fileNames);

 
    $offre = $offresTable->newEmptyEntity();
    $offre = $offresTable->patchEntity($offre, $offreData);
Log::debug('File moved: ' . $offre);
  
    if ($offresTable->save($offre)) {
        $arrReturn = ['status' => 'ok'];
    } else {
        $arrReturn = ['status' => 'false'];
    }
    echo json_encode($arrReturn);
}

the debug of $this->request->getUploadedFiles(); gives {} but when Log::debug('Size: ’ . $file->getSize()); gives the file size Log::debug('Size: ’ . $file->getClientFilename()); gives the file name
I need help to enlighten me, or I made mistakes,
thanks in advance

The only thing I can see is you are trying to use the if($file->moveTo($targetFile)) to populate $fileNames[] but $file->moveTo()'s return type is void or it throws some exceptions. (At least it is for CakePHP 5). So $fileNames[] will always be empty.
