Multiple file input

[mvilskersts]

I believe there is a problem with bootstrap file input when using attribute "multiple".

In order to correctly upload multiple files i have to define my file input as array. For example:
<?= $this->Form->input( 'images[]', [ 'multiple' => true, 'type' => 'file'] ); ?>

This creates the file upload widget that includes a fake input for displaying number of files chosen:
<input type="text" name="images[]-text" class="form-control" readonly="readonly" id="images-input" onclick="document.getElementById('images').click();" value="">

Here is where the problem is:
When I dump the contents of $_FILES super global variable all the chosen files are there as expected. However, if I dump $this->request->data one of the files is missing because the fake text input overrides it. What I propose is to replace readonlyattribute on the fake input with a disabled so that it doesn't get submitted (which proved to fix the issue for me).

Are you sure this is the output your get for the text input? What happens if you change the name from images[] to images?

Same issue.. Any solution. Can't show error class in input value.

@sathishsanthoshsusidhar Could you provide a bit more information? There is nothing related to error classes in the original issue.

Could you provide a piece of code that recreates the issue you're encountering? With what the actual output and what you expect.

Code:

<?php foreach ($component->component_products as $key => $value) {
        echo $this->Form->control('component_products.'.$key.'.id',['type' => 'hidden','label' => false]);
        echo $this->Form->control('component_products.'.$key.'.product_id',['type'=> 'select','label' => false ,'empty' => 'Select','options' => $products]);
        echo $this->Form->control('component_products.'.$key.'.number_of_component', ['type' => 'number', 'label' => false]); 
        echo $this->Form->control('component_products.'.$key.'.spare_count', ['type' => 'number', 'label' => false]); 
        echo $this->Form->control('component_products.'.$key.'.start_product_no', ['type' => 'number', 'label' => false]); 
        echo $this->Form->control('component_products.'.$key.'.end_product_no', ['type' => 'number', 'label' => false]); 
} ?>

I add table row dynamically its working fine in add edit. But it not show the error message when i left empty. Is working one to one relation. Not working in hasMany.

How to solve it?

Thanks in Advance.

@sathishsanthoshsusidhar This has nothing to do with a file input then, which is the whole purpose of this issue. I still do not really understand your problem... Could you open a new issue and add details on what you actually expect?

Your pictures has time-related columns, but the code you show speak of number of components, etc., so it does not seem related.
