CakePHP saveMany doesnt save - cakephp-2.5

Question

I have the following Form Code.
<?php echo $this
->Form
->create(
'PagePhoto',
array(
'type' => 'file',
'url' => array(
'controller' => 'page_photos',
'action' => 'add'
)
)
); ?>
<div class="modal-body has-padding">
<div class="form-group">
<?php echo $this->Form->label('PagePhoto.0.filename', 'Photos:'); ?>
<br/><br/>
<?php echo $this->Form->file('PagePhoto.0.filename', array('required' => false)); ?>
<?php echo $this->Form->error('PagePhoto.0.filename', null, array('class' => 'label label-block label-danger text-left', 'wrap' => 'label')); ?>
<br/>
<?php echo $this->Form->file('PagePhoto.1.filename', array('required' => false)); ?>
<?php echo $this->Form->error('PagePhoto.1.filename', null, array('class' => 'label label-block label-danger text-left', 'wrap' => 'label')); ?>
<br/>
<?php echo $this->Form->file('PagePhoto.2.filename', array('required' => false)); ?>
<?php echo $this->Form->error('PagePhoto.2.filename', null, array('class' => 'label label-block label-danger text-left', 'wrap' => 'label')); ?>
<br/>
<?php echo $this->Form->file('PagePhoto.3.filename', array('required' => false)); ?>
<?php echo $this->Form->error('PagePhoto.3.filename', null, array('class' => 'label label-block label-danger text-left', 'wrap' => 'label')); ?>
</div>
</div>
<div class="modal-footer">
<button type="button" class="btn btn-warning" data-dismiss="modal">Close</button>
<button type="submit" class="btn btn-primary">Upload Photos</button>
</div>
Which returns the following array to the add action
array(
'PagePhoto' => array(
(int) 0 => array(
'filename' => array(
'name' => 'IMG_1683.jpg',
'type' => 'image/jpeg',
'tmp_name' => '/Applications/MAMP/tmp/php/phpoIrbZ6',
'error' => (int) 0,
'size' => (int) 94131
)
),
(int) 1 => array(
'filename' => array(
'name' => 'IMG_1683.jpg',
'type' => 'image/jpeg',
'tmp_name' => '/Applications/MAMP/tmp/php/phpAcbXbC',
'error' => (int) 0,
'size' => (int) 94131
)
),
(int) 2 => array(
'filename' => array(
'name' => 'IMG_1683.jpg',
'type' => 'image/jpeg',
'tmp_name' => '/Applications/MAMP/tmp/php/phppCeN8G',
'error' => (int) 0,
'size' => (int) 94131
)
),
(int) 3 => array(
'filename' => array(
'name' => 'IMG_1683.jpg',
'type' => 'image/jpeg',
'tmp_name' => '/Applications/MAMP/tmp/php/php8Ib3bO',
'error' => (int) 0,
'size' => (int) 94131
)
)
)
)
Add Action
public function admin_add() {
if ($this->request->is('post')) {
debug($this->request->data);
$this->PagePhoto->create();
if ($this->PagePhoto->saveMany($this->request->data)) {
$this->Session->setFlash(__('The gallery has been saved.'), 'admin/flash_success');
// return $this->redirect(array('action' => 'view', $this->request->data['Gallery']['album_id']));
} else {
$this->Session->setFlash(__('The gallery could not be saved. Please, try again.'), 'admin/flash_error');
}
} else {
// $this->request->data['Gallery']['album_id'] = $album_id;
}
}
Error:
FAILURE: The gallery could not be saved. Please, try again.

Answer 1

$this->PagePhoto->saveMany($this->request->data['PagePhoto']);
Note: When saving multiple records of same model the records arrays should be just numerically indexed without the model key.
