cakephp 2.x file upload

Question

CakePHP 2.x on OpenShift PAAS

I am trying to get all the particulars about a file

• name
• type
• temp name

Some Results:

print_r($this->data);
Array ( [Import] => Array ( [file] => PCI_card_KCF_04252013.csv ) )

and ..

print_r($this->request->params);
Array ( [plugin] => [controller] => products [action] => import [named] => Array ( ) [pass] => Array ( ) )

I have the following in the ProductsController:

public function import()    {
    //print_r($this->request);
    print_r($this->data);
}

I have the following in index.ctp:

<?php echo $this->Form->create('Import',
        array(
            'class' => 'form-horizontal',
            'style' => false,
            'url' => array ('controller' => 'products', 'action' => 'import')
            )); ?>
        <div class="control-group">
                <?php echo $this->Form->input('file',
                    array(
                    'type' => 'file',
                    'label' => false,
                    'div' => 'controls',
                    )); ?>
        </div><!-- end of control group -->
    <div class="control-group">
            <?php echo $this->Form->submit(_('Import'),
                array(
                'type' => 'submit',
                'class' => 'btn btn-primary btn-large',
                'label' => false,
                'style' => false,
                'div' => 'controls'
                )); ?>
    </div>
<?php echo $this->Form->end(); ?>
