I have a table named product and another table named product_images that stores the product image path and a product_id column. I need to assign an attribute (replacing someAttributeName) for the image, which is part of the ProductImage model, while the form is using the Product model.

View : _form.php

<?php

use yii\helpers\Html;
use yii\widgets\ActiveForm;
use kartik\widgets\FileInput;

/**
 * @var yii\web\View $this
 * @var backend\models\Product $model
 * @var yii\widgets\ActiveForm $form
 */
?>

<div class="product-form">

    <!--change here: This form option need to be added in order to work with multi file upload 
       ['options' => ['enctype'=>'multipart/form-data']]-->
    <?php $form = ActiveForm::begin(['options' => ['enctype'=>'multipart/form-data']]); ?>

    <?= $form->field($model, 'category_id')->dropDownList($model->getCategoryList()) ?>

    <?= $form->field($model, 'name')->textInput(['maxlength' => 255]) ?>

    <?= $form->field($model, 'description')->textarea(['rows' => 6]) ?>

    <?= $form->field($model, 'created')->textInput() ?>

    <?= $form->field($model, 'last_updated')->textInput() ?>

    <?= $form->field($model, 'documentation')->textInput(['maxlength' => 255]) ?>

    <?= $form->field($model, 'layout')->textInput() ?>

    <?php

    // Usage with ActiveForm and model
    //change here: need to add image_path attribute from another table and add square bracket after image_path[] 
    //  for multiple file upload.
     echo $form->field($productImages, 'image_path[]')->widget(FileInput::classname(), [
        'options' => ['multiple' => true, 'accept' => 'image/*'],
        'pluginOptions' => [
            'previewFileType' => 'image',
            //change here: below line is added just to hide upload button. 
            // Its up to you to add this code or not.
            'showUpload' => false
        ],
    ]);
    ?>

    <div class="form-group">
        <?= Html::submitButton($model->isNewRecord ? Yii::t('app', 'Create') : Yii::t('app', 'Update'), 
       ['class' => $model->isNewRecord ? 'btn btn-success' : 'btn btn-primary']) ?>
    </div>

    <?php ActiveForm::end(); ?>

</div>

Controller

public function actionCreate()
    {
        $model = new Product;
        $productImages = new ProductImages;

        if($_POST){
            //below line will fetch all image related data and put it into $file as an object. 
//Refer output of var_dump($file) after controller code.
            $file = UploadedFile::getInstances($productImages, 'image_path');
            var_dump($file);
        }

        //below code is where you will do your own stuff. 
//This is just a sample code need to do work on saving files
        if ($model->load(Yii::$app->request->post()) && $model->save()) {
            return $this->redirect(['view', 'id' => $model->id]);
        } else {
            return $this->render('create', [
                'model' => $model,
                'productImages' => $productImages,
            ]);
        }
    }


var_dump($file) This will show output of uploaded image data.
