CakePHP Setup for Ver. 2.*.*

Steps

1. Place UploadHandler.php in vendor/file.upload. You can use any name instead of file.upload.
2. Have jQuery setup in your app.
3. Copy jQuery File Upload files in the proper directories of your Cake app, usually webroot/js.
4. You can now initialize jQuery-File-Upload options in your controller using following way.

App::import('Vendor', 'UploadHandler', array('file' => 'file.upload/UploadHandler.php'));
$options = array(
	        'upload_dir' => 'Your upload directory', 	    
	        'accept_file_types' => '/\.(gif|jpe?g|png)$/i'                     
           );

$upload_handler = new UploadHandler($options);
