Re: [fw-mvc] Zend_Form_Element_File upload issues

Hi,

1.The file is only uploaded when the form validation passes, not the element
itself

2. A stated here,
http://framework.zend.com/manual/en/zend.form.standardElements.html#zend.form.standardElements.file,
the rename filter will be added in future versions. However, you can still
change the file name manually after the file upload using php function
rename.

Regards,
