@samdar:

Here is the example:

I have user table which has following fields

1) username 2) email 3) profile_image

. Now creating a user by sending following params

{"username":"foo","email":"[email protected]"}

on following url

http://dev.app.com/api/web/v1/users (POST)

which creates new user. but i also want to upload user profile image using same url which i don't know how to do.

let me know your thoughts on this.

@usualdesigner : thanks for the link but it is an alternative way to achieve what i want to do and infect i am using same method :)

You can use a model and UploadedFile class for solving your problem. Just create a model with file attribute, and assign it in your REST controller's action.

Here you can see the ready-to-use recipe for Yii 1.1:

It seems there's no issue and it fits more at forums.
