Hi,
Ive added an Image upload form field to my component,
Everything is going right, but I have a little problem:
Code:
for($i=0;$i<count($images['name']);$i++){
         if($images['error'][$i]!=4){
            $imagename = JFile::makeSafe($images['name'][$i]);
            $imagesrc = $images['tmp_name'][$i];
            $imagedest = "images/myimages/$imagename";
            if(JFile::upload($imagesrc, $imagedest))
               $img[]=$imagedest;
            else
               $img[]="images/myimages/noimage.jpg";
            $data['images']=implode(',',$img);
         }else{
            $this->setError($images['error'][$i]);
            return false;
         }
      }

root folder for upload files is joomlaroot/administrator,
this means that all images will be uploaded in joomlaroot/administrator/images
How do I must change the address so the files will be uploaded in joomlaroot/images ??

I've checked, All path constants are defined inside of administrator/index.php
so there is no use in them...

why not use "../"?:

Code:
$imagedest = "../images/myimages/$imagename";

Thnx Drewgg, The Idea works, but I have to make some other changes in order to save the correct address in database (we dont want ../images/myimages/example.jpg as address in database:
Code:
for($i=0;$i<count($images['name']);$i++){
         if($images['error'][$i]!=4){
            $imagename = JFile::makeSafe($images['name'][$i]);
            $imagesrc = $images['tmp_name'][$i];
            $dbimagedest = "images/myimages/$imagename";
            $imagedest = "../".$dbimagedest;
            if(JFile::upload($imagesrc, $imagedest))
               $img[]=$dbimagedest;
            else
               $img[]="images/myimages/noimage.jpg";
         }else{
            $this->setError($images['error'][$i]);
            return false;
         }
      }
$data['images']=implode(',',$img);

What do you want in your database? Yo onl need the file name and the rest of the path can be hardcoded in your component? Or am I missing something? That's the way I am doing it. The path is to my component, and using the filename only in the database. When i am calling the images I am getting the path in the code

@Robert: In spite of the fact that it takes more resources (saving paths) is there any other benefit in saving only the file name?

The benefit of having the path stored once and not with every file is when it changes it only needs to be changed in one place.

That's why I gave you that answer. There is a difference between wasting some bytes of storage and having a need to write a complex procedure when the storage location changes.

If you are saving only he filename the path can be different when changing the site structure for example. When you are saving the pah you need to change the database also when changing something.
In my opinion saving the filename only, you are more flexible
