You are trying to save one record once using saveMany().
public function add()
{
if ($this->request->is('post')) {
$table = TableRegistry::get('files');
$uploadPath = '../uploads/files/';
if(!empty($_FILES['photo'])){
foreach ($_FILES['photo'] as $EachPhoto) {
$data[] = [
'user_id' => $this->Auth->user('id'),
'filename' => $EachPhoto['name'],
'file_location' => $uploadPath,
'file_type' => $EachPhoto['type'],
'file_size' => $EachPhoto['size'],
'file_status' => 'Active',
'created' => date("Y-m-d H:i:s")
];
}
$entities = $table->newEntities($data);
if($this->Files->saveMany($entitie)) {
$this->Flash->success(__('File has been uploaded and inserted successfully.'));
return $this->redirect(['action' => 'index']);
} else {
$this->Flash->error(__('Unable to upload file, please try again.'));
}
} else {
$this->Flash->error(__('Please choose a file to upload.'));
}
}
}
