Multiple upload in Cakephp 3.0 - cakephp-3.0

Question

Hi I'm a beginner in CakePHP 3.0 my I have a problem, it won't save in database.
Controller:
public function add() {
$myTable = TableRegistry::get('Files');
$data = $this->request->getData();
$file = $myTable->newEntities($data);
if ($this->request->is('post')) {
foreach ($file as $key => $val) {
$val['user_id'] = $this->Auth->user('id');
$val['filename'] = $_FILES['photo']['name'];
$val['file_location'] = '../uploads/files/';
$val['file_type'] = $_FILES['photo']['type'];
$val['file_size'] = $_FILES['photo']['size'];
$val['file_status'] = 'Active';
$val['created'] = date("Y-m-d H:i:s");
$val['modified'] = date("Y-m-d H:i:s");
if($myTable->save($val)) {
$this->Flash->success(__('File has been uploaded and inserted successfully.'));
} else {
$this->Flash->error(__('File not upload!'));
}
}
}
}
can someone help me to fixed my problem, I followed the docs in CakePHP but it seems not working.
Views:
<?= $this->Form->create(null, ['type' => 'file', 'url' => ['controller' => 'Files', 'action' => 'add']]) ?>
echo $this->Form->input('photo[]', ['type' => 'file','multiple' => 'true','label' => 'Upload Multiple Photos']);
This is my database structure:
CREATE TABLE `files` (
`id` int(8) NOT NULL,
`user_id` varchar(100) NOT NULL,
`filename` varchar(100) NOT NULL,
`file_location` varchar(1000) NOT NULL,
`file_type` varchar(100) NOT NULL,
`file_size` varchar(100) NOT NULL,
`file_status` varchar(100) NOT NULL,
`created` datetime NOT NULL,
`modified` datetime NOT NULL,
`timestamp` timestamp NOT NULL DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP ON UPDATE CURRENT_TIMESTAMP
) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1;

public function add() {
$myTable = TableRegistry::get('Files');
if ($this->request->is('post')) {
foreach ($_FILES['photo'] as $key => $file) {
$val['user_id'] = $this->Auth->user('id');
$val['filename'] = $file['name'];
$val['file_location'] = '../uploads/files/';
$val['file_type'] = $file['type'];
$val['file_size'] = $file['size'];
$val['file_status'] = 'Active';
$val['created'] = date("Y-m-d H:i:s");
$val['modified'] = date("Y-m-d H:i:s");
$val = $myTable->newEntity($val);
//Make some count here to trace the no of files uploaded and take this if else out of this foreach, otherwise it will display many flash message.
if($myTable->save($val)) {
$this->Flash->success(__('File has been uploaded and inserted successfully.'));
} else {
$this->Flash->error(__('File not upload!'));
}
}
}
}
