Example

First of all we need to create a view for our form, please add new item in application/view folder. uploadView.php

                    
PHP:
use Ness\Forms\Form;
use Ness\Forms\FormElements;

$fileUpload = new Form("test");



    .
    ..
    ...
    ....
    echo $fileUpload->DefineForm(array("method"=>"post", "enctype"=>"multipart/form-data"));
    $fileUpload->setModel("testModel");
    
echo $fileUpload->setElement(FormElements::Label("File", "mydata"));
echo $fileUpload->setElement(FormElements::FileUpload("mydata"));

echo $fileUpload->setElement(FormElements::Submit("test"));
    $fileUpload->Call("upload");

                    

In theese code lines we have defined that; we have a testModel.php file in Model folder and a upload() function in it. Now, we need to create the Model/testModel.php and code it to look like this:

PHP:



use Ness\Forms\FileUpload;

class testModel
{

public function upload()
{
    $tryupload = new FileUpload("test");
    
    if($tryupload->setDirectory("uploads")->OnlyImages(true)->UploadFile("mydata"))
    {
        echo "FILE UPLOADED SUCCESSFULLY";
    }else{
        var_dump($tryupload->getErrors());
    }

}
}

                    

thats all.
