Saving data in the database in yii2 during file upload action

Question

I have a upload controller where by am also performing saving other data to the database. The file uploading to the folder is okay but saving the other details in the table doesn't happen

controller code

$images = $_FILES['evidence'];
$success = null;

$paths= ['uploads'];

// get file names
$filenames = $images['name'];


// loop and process files
for($i=0; $i < count($filenames); $i++){
//$ext = explode('.', basename($filenames[$i]));
$target = "uploads/cases/evidence".DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . md5(uniqid()); //. "." . array_pop($ext);
if(move_uploaded_file($images['name'], $target)) {
    $success = true;
    $paths[] = $target;
} else {
    $success = false;

    break;
}

echo $success;
}
// check and process based on successful status 
if ($success === true) {
        $evidence = new Evidence();
        $evidence->case_ref=$id;
        $evidence->saved_on=date("Y-m-d");
        $evidence->save();

$output = [];
} elseif ($success === false) {
$output = ['error'=>'Error while uploading images. Contact the system administrator'];

foreach ($paths as $file) {
    unlink($file);
}
} else {
$output = ['error'=>'No files were processed.'];
}

//  return a json encoded response for plugin to process successfully
echo json_encode($output);

After doing var_dump($evidence->save()) I get an error of Boolean false

You could have validation errors. Check $errors property

// check and process based on successful status 
if ($success === true) {
        $evidence = new Evidence();
        $evidence->case_ref=$id;
        $evidence->saved_on=date("Y-m-d");
        $retSave = $evidence->save();

        if($retSave == false)
        {
              var_dump($evidence->errors);
        }

$output = [];
}
....
