Why is $file empty in custom symfony file validator?
- by codecowboy
I am setting a custom file validator for a file input field in Symfony 1.4 (Doctrine)
$this-setValidator('filename', new sfValidatorFile(array(
'mime_types' = 'web_images',
'path' = sfConfig::get('sf_upload_dir').'/animals',
'validated_file_class' = 'CustomValidatedFile',
'required' =false
)));
I then want to override the save method to generate some thumbnails:
class CustomValidatedFile extends sfValidatedFile {
private $savedFilename;
// Override sfValidatedFile's save method
public function save($file = null, $fileMode = 0666, $create = true, $dirMode = 0777) {
$this-savedFilename = $this-generateFilename();
// This makes sure we use only one savedFilename (it will be the first)
if ($this-savedFilename === null ) {
$this-savedFilename = $file;
}
$thumbnail = new sfThumbnail(150,150);
$thumbnail-loadFile($this-getTempName());
$thumbnail-save(sfConfig::get('sf_upload_dir').'/thumbnails/thumb_'.$this-savedFilename);
// Let the original save method do its magic :)
return parent::save($this->savedFilename, $fileMode, $create, $dirMode);
}
}
This fails with the error "The file "" is not readable." This is coming from sfThumbnailPlugin because the value of $file is null.
My question is why is $file null?
