I assume you image located in path : project/webroot/uploads/xxxxx.jpg
And xxxxx.jpg file name saved in tables users in fileds ā€˜imagenewā€™
To show the image in File: src/Template/Users/view.ctp

<?php
echo $this->Html->image('/uploads/'.$user->imagenew, ['alt' => 'Picture']);

You can use like edit function and after save success, use move_uploaded_file to the uploads directory

Can you share code HTML Form

8

html code: echo $this->Form->input(ā€˜imageā€™, [ā€˜typeā€™ => ā€˜fileā€™]);

9

controller code:

$profilepic=$this->request->data[ā€˜imageā€™][ā€˜nameā€™];

$myfolder= WWW_ROOT.DS.ā€œfilesā€.DS.ā€œuploadsā€;

$dir = new Folder($myfolder, true, 0755);

move_uploaded_file($this->request->data[ā€˜imageā€™][ā€˜tmp_nameā€™], $myfolder.DS.$this->request->data[ā€˜imageā€™][ā€˜nameā€™]);

$users_table = TableRegistry::get(ā€˜usersā€™);
$users = $users_table->get($id);

$users->imagenew = $profilepic;

if($users_table->save($users))
$this->Flash->success(ā€˜User is Updatedā€™);

10

Do you put this code in your form helper?

echo $this->Form->create($users, ['type' => 'file']);

Just want to know, you put this array in the form ['type' => 'file']

11

i tried its Its not working

12

ya bro working i forgot to add

ā€˜enctypeā€™ => ā€˜multipart/form-dataā€™

13

its not workingā€¦

14

Yes, and Good job. Itā€™s point I want to you find it, because value from your FROM not passing multipart/form-data.

15

Maybe like this put in value of existing name to new input as 'old_nameā€™

echo $this->Form->control('old_name',['value'=>$user->name]);

In Controller, for delete the file.

$oldprofilepic=$this->request->data[ā€˜imageā€™][ā€˜old_nameā€™];
$myfolder= WWW_ROOT.DS.ā€œfilesā€.DS.ā€œuploadsā€;
$dir = new Folder($myfolder, true, 0755);
$file = new File($myfolder.DS.$oldprofilepic);
$file->delete();
$file->close();

OR Just simple like unlink($myfolder.DS.$oldprofilepic);

This code just the idea. Not tested.
