FormFile

The FormFile view helper can be used to render a <input type="file"> form input. It is meant to work with the Zend\Form\Element\File element.

FormFile extends from Zend\Form\View\Helper\FormInput.

Basic usage:

use Zend\Form\Element;

$element = new Element\File('my-file');

// Within your view...

echo $this->formFile($element);
// <input type="file" name="my-file">

For HTML5 multiple file uploads, the multiple attribute can be used. Browsers that do not support HTML5 will default to a single upload input.

use Zend\Form\Element;

$element = new Element\File('my-file');
$element->setAttribute('multiple', true);

// Within your view...

echo $this->formFile($element);
// <input type="file" name="my-file" multiple="multiple">
