File

Zend\Form\Element\File represents a form file input and provides a default input specification with a type of FileInput (important for handling validators and filters correctly). It can be used with the Zend\Form\View\Helper\FormFile view helper.

Zend\Form\Element\File extends from Zend\Form\Element.

Basic Usage

This element automatically adds a "type" attribute of value "file". It will also set the form’s enctype to multipart/form-data during $form->prepare().

use Zend\Form\Element;
use Zend\Form\Form;

// Single file upload
$file = new Element\File('file');
$file->setLabel('Single file input');

// HTML5 multiple file upload
$multiFile = new Element\File('multi-file');
$multiFile->setLabel('Multi file input')
          ->setAttribute('multiple', true);

$form = new Form('my-file');
$form->add($file)
     ->add($multiFile);
