I've found the complete guide to uploading files and images in CakePHP from here - Handling File Uploads in CakePHP

The example code is given below.

Controller:

$fileName = $this->request->data['file']['name'];
$uploadPath = 'uploads/files/';
$uploadFile = $uploadPath.$fileName;
if(move_uploaded_file($this->request->data['file']['tmp_name'],$uploadFile)){
    //DB query goes here
}

View:

Form->create($uploadData, ['type' => 'file']); ?>
    Form->input('file', ['type' => 'file', 'class' => 'form-control']); ?>
    Form->button(__('Upload File'), ['type'=>'submit', 'class' => 'form-controlbtn btn-default']); ?>
Form->end(); ?>
