I trying to upload images without using built-in attachment system. I using XenForo_Upload::getUploadedFile($field) to get uploaded file but it's always return false. Any ideas what I am doing wrong?

@EDIT
I have enctype="multipart/form-data" in form.
 
Something like this will work:

HTML:
<input type="file" name="upload_file" id="ctrl_upload_file" />

PHP:
$fileTransfer = new Zend_File_Transfer_Adapter_Http();
if ($fileTransfer->isUploaded('upload_file'))
{
	$fileInfo = $fileTransfer->getFileInfo('upload_file'); // upload_file is the name attribute from the input element
	$fileName = $fileInfo['upload_file']['tmp_name']; // $fileName is a string containing the path to the file uploaded in the temp location
}
 
i need help on this as well....

I add "enctype="multipart/form-data" this on my form tag already.
and i have declared $fileupload = XenForo_Upload::getUploadedFile('file_upload');
now what???

is there any genius out there who can solve this. been around for many days.... still no hope.
 
Would need to see all of the code related to the form, the input and the PHP to be sure, really.

added a thread_classified template (basically it is Thread_add template width modified/added stuff)
added an upload_photo template
Then added a new function in forum.php

I have used $upload = XenForo_Upload::getUploadedFile('UPL');
But it seems it never get any file with it???

Probably because your form have class AutoValidator, so the form will be submited via AJAX and you never get the file
