Base64ToFile plugin for CakePHP
===============================

[](#base64tofile-plugin-for-cakephp)

About
-----

[](#about)

This plugin will convert a base64 encoded file string into a "classic" fileupload, like in $\_FILES, which can then be passed to other fileuploads, like josegonzalez/cakephp-upload.

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

To install simply add it to your composer dependencies `composer require gringlas/cakephp-base64tofile`. The plugin is mainly a behavior, which you should attach to your file entity:

```
$this->addBehavior('Base64ToFile.Base64ToFile', [
        'field' => 'file'
    ]);
```

Where `field` contains the name of the field with the base64 encoded file.
