html name in php request data

Question

Hello I need a little help, how I get this same name what I have in html in to php ?

In html I have :

<input type="file" name="data[UploadFile][file_upload][]" id="uploadFilefiles">

and in php :

$this->request->data['UploadFile']['name'] = $this->request->data['UploadFile']['file_upload']['name'];

How can I use these [] what I have in html in php ?

What system is it? What is in "$this" object, I mean what is the class which contains this PHP code? And why You use so these brackets in HTML? Doesn't seems normal :P — Line

this is you manual html code[] you can't write this you must write into $this->Form->input('UploadFile.file_upload.'); — Sharma Vikram

in HTML you have

<input type="file" name="data[UploadFile][file_upload][]" id="uploadFilefiles">

So you get (if you use the method "post" in your form) an array in PHP:

print_r($_POST['data']['UploadFile']['file_upload']);

look here and scroll down:

Its not helping me, I need something like this : $this->request->data['UploadFile']['file_upload']['[]']['name']; , but its not working , its wrong way to do this.

try to print_r($this->request->data) ... what do you get back? this construct from you will not work, because [] is a new array in php. you can show the data with print_r($this->request->data['UploadFile']['file_upload']);

Ofc I get nothing if I print it, but If I remove in html [] and doing this : print_r($this->request->data['UploadFile']['file_upload']); die; Then I got what I need. BUT I uploading multiple files, and thanks to this I need these []

the problem with this [] in html is: in php they are after $data['UploadFile']['file_upload'][x]['name'] (just replace x with the index of your file, zero based)
