This example illustrates a basic file upload which uses Zend_File_Transfer. The first part is the file form. In our example there is one file which we want to upload.

<form enctype="multipart/form-data" action="/file/upload" method="POST">
    <input type="hidden" name="MAX_FILE_SIZE" value="100000" />
        Choose a file to upload: <input name="uploadedfile" type="file" />
    <br />
    <input type="submit" value="Upload File" />
</form>

Note that you should use Zend_Form_Element_File for your convenience instead of creating the HTML manually.

The next step is to create the receiver of the upload. In our example the receiver is /file/upload. So next we will create the controller file with the action upload.

$adapter = new Zend_File_Transfer_Adapter_Http();

$adapter->setDestination('C:\temp');

if (!$adapter->receive()) {
    $messages = $adapter->getMessages();
    echo implode("\n", $messages);
}

        

As you see the simplest usage is to define a destination with the setDestination method and to call the receive() method. If there are any upload errors then you will get them within an exception returned.
