File upload in with Lithium framework

Question

How does Lithium framework file upload work with MySQL? I can find only tutorials and information with MongoDB. Tried to do that with MySQL but failed, upload doesn't work.

Can someone explain how it works with simple example?

Answer 1

Do it like you would using plain PHP .

MongoDB has GridFS where you can store files, which can be done in MySQL too (using BLOB ) but is not recommended. Use the filesystem instead move_uploaded_file() .

Answer 2

I'm working on a plugin, much like paperclip for rails. it's called li3_attachable and can be found here https://github.com/sandelius/li3_attachable .

It's not ready yet but I hope it should be stable this weekend. I've also added some docs in the wiki.
