$updateFile = $_FILES['asset']; //Printing values
$model->asset = \yii\web\UploadedFile::getInstance($model, 'asset'); //Not printing,its empty

What is the issues,I couldn't validate If i process the file with $_FILES.Any help would be grateful!! Thanks in Advance

Yep..its works!! but not validates ` $updateFile =UploadedFile::getInstanceByName( 'asset'); if($model->validate() && $updateFile) { $updateFile->saveAs(Yii::getAlias('@app') . '/web/uploads/'.$updateFile->name); $model->asset = $updateFile->name; }else{ $model->asset = $oldfile; }` – Jackhad Jun 11 '16 at 04:18

Your data should come like $_FILES['Your_Model_Name']['asset'] if you want to use UploadedFile::getInstance method. Try this, it will work.

$updateFile = $_FILES['User']['asset']; //Printing values
$model->asset = \yii\web\UploadedFile::getInstance($model, 'asset'); // Not printing, it's empty

since its rest API call,it doesn't mandatory to have $_FILES['User'],that can be as any name. – Jackhad Jun 10 '16 at 09:39
We can assign it like $model->asset = $_FILES['asset']; I dont think so this answer is helpful!! – Jackhad Jun 10 '16 at 09:57
