Property Details

error property read-only
public integer getError()

Returns an error code describing the status of this file uploading.

See Also

extensionName property read-only
public string getExtensionName()

the file extension name for name. The extension name does not include the dot character. An empty string is returned if name does not have an extension name.

hasError property read-only
public boolean getHasError()

whether there is an error with the uploaded file. Check error for detailed error code information.

name property read-only
public string getName()

the original name of the file being uploaded

size property read-only
public integer getSize()

the actual size of the uploaded file in bytes

tempName property read-only
public string getTempName()

the path of the uploaded file on the server. Note, this is a temporary file which will be automatically deleted by PHP after the current request is processed.

type property read-only
public string getType()

the MIME-type of the uploaded file (such as "image/gif"). Since this MIME type is not checked on the server side, do not take this value for granted. Instead, use CFileHelper::getMimeType to determine the exact MIME type.
