If you want to achieve file upload validation trough your CakePHP model, you can use the following code. For this tutorial I you have a database table with a field ‘pdf_path’ (of course, this can be anything you like).
In this tutorial I’ll show you in about 30 minutes how to create a html form with the built-in FormHelper of CakePHP which automatically links up to the database fields to see what kind of input field should be generated. Further on we also check out the built-in validation options and how we can save our submitted form data to the database. And at the end I’ll explain how you can use CakePHP’s Model callback functions to put in our custom code before a CakePHP action.
