In cakephp I am trying to check if an file input field has a file attached, and if not output an error. I have done this with other fields but just can't seem to get this to work on that field.
Here is the model
array('notempty'), 'uploadeduploaded_file' => array('notempty') ); ?>
and here is my ctp file
<?php echo $form->input('Uploaded.uploaded_file', array('type' => 'file', 'label' => 'Upload file', "label" => false)); ?>
I am guessing that it must be something to do with what I should call the field in the model, but I have tried all sorts of combinations and can't get it work.
Any help would be grateful
