All that scrolling and your message was cut off. In any case, it'd be more helpful to clearly state the issue up front before introducing us to half your controller code. Why do you have 'Image' repeated in several places? ie. $this->data['Image']['Image']['name'] = ... Is that how it's coming in? What do your form fields look like? And why the Upload model? Couldn't you just save the data from ImagesController? -- Our newest site for the community: CakePHP Video Tutorials http://tv.cakephp.org Check out the new CakePHP Questions site http://ask.cakephp.org and help others with their CakePHP related questions.
