Property Details

$baseName public property

Original file base name.

public string $baseName = null

$error public property

An error code describing the status of this file uploading.

public integer $error = null

$extension public property

File extension.

public string $extension = null

$fullPath public property (available since version 2.0.46)

The full path as submitted by the browser. Note this value does not always contain a real directory structure, and cannot be trusted. Available as of PHP 8.1.

public string|null $fullPath = null

$hasError public property

Whether there is an error with the uploaded file. Check $error for detailed error code information.

public boolean $hasError = null

$name public property

The original name of the file being uploaded

public string $name = null

$size public property

The actual size of the uploaded file in bytes

public integer $size = null

$tempName public property

The path of the uploaded file on the server. Note, this is a temporary file which will be automatically deleted by PHP after the current request is processed.

public string $tempName = null

$type public property

The MIME-type of the uploaded file (such as "image/gif"). Since this MIME type is not checked on the server-side, do not take this value for granted. Instead, use yii\helpers\FileHelper::getMimeType() to determine the exact MIME type.

public string $type = null

public void __construct ( $config = [] )
$config	array	Name-value pairs that will be used to initialize the object properties

__toString() public method

String output.

This is PHP magic method that returns string representation of an object. The implementation here returns the uploaded file's name.

public string __toString ( )
return	string	The string representation of the object

copyTempFile() protected method (available since version 2.0.32)

Copy temporary file into file specified

protected integer\|false copyTempFile ( $targetFile )
$targetFile	string	Path of the file to copy to
return	integer\|false	The total count of bytes copied, or false on failure

getBaseName() public method

public string getBaseName ( )
return	string	Original file base name

getExtension() public method

public string getExtension ( )
return	string	File extension

getHasError() public method

public boolean getHasError ( )

$model	yii\base\Model	The data model
$attribute	string	The attribute name. The attribute name may contain array indexes. For example, '[1]file' for tabular file uploading; and 'file[1]' for an element in a file array.
return	yii\web\UploadedFile\|null	The instance of the uploaded file. Null is returned if no file is uploaded for the specified model attribute.

getInstanceByName() public static method

Returns an uploaded file according to the given file input name.

The name can be a plain string or a string like an array element (e.g. 'Post[imageFile]', or 'Post[0][imageFile]').

public static yii\web\UploadedFile\|null getInstanceByName ( $name )
$name	string	The name of the file input field.
return	yii\web\UploadedFile\|null	The instance of the uploaded file. Null is returned if no file is uploaded for the specified name.

getInstances() public static method

Returns all uploaded files for the given model attribute.

public static yii\web\UploadedFile[] getInstances ( $model, $attribute )

This is mainly used when multiple files were uploaded and saved as 'files[0]', 'files[1]', 'files[n]'..., and you can retrieve them all by passing 'files' as the name.

public static yii\web\UploadedFile[] getInstancesByName ( $name )
$name	string	The name of the array of files
return	yii\web\UploadedFile[]	The array of UploadedFile objects. Empty array is returned if no adequate upload was found. Please note that this array will contain all files from all sub-arrays regardless how deeply nested they are.

reset() public static method

Cleans up the loaded UploadedFile instances.

This method is mainly used by test scripts to set up a fixture.

public static void reset ( )

saveAs() public method

Saves the uploaded file.

If the target file $file already exists, it will be overwritten.

public boolean saveAs ( $file, $deleteTempFile = true )
$file	string	The file path or a path alias used to save the uploaded file.
$deleteTempFile	boolean	Whether to delete the temporary file after saving. If true, you will not be able to save the uploaded file again in the current request.
