The simpler the better... I think you'd better use standard Yii fileField() in form.

In view:

<?php $form=$this->beginWidget('CActiveForm', array(
 'enableAjaxValidation'=>false,
 'enableClientValidation'=>false,
 'htmlOptions' => array(
    'enctype' => 'multipart/form-data',
 ),
)); ?>
...

<?php echo $form->labelEx($model,'image'); ?> 
<?php echo $form->fileField($model,'image',array('size'=>40,'maxlength'=>255)); ?>
<?php echo $form->error($model,'image'); ?>
<br><br>
<?php echo CHtml::submitButton(  Yii::t('general','Create')  ); ?>

<?php  // show image if it already exists in file system
 if ((getimagesize(Yii::app()->basePath. '/../img/foto/'. $model->article . '.jpg') !== false) ) : ?> 
<?php echo CHtml::image(Yii::app()->baseUrl. '/img/foto/'. $model->article . '.jpg')?> 
<?php endif;    ?>

<?php $this->endWidget(); ?>

Notice 'enctype' => 'multipart/form-data' in the form html settings. This makes it to upload file. Then on a controller side you apply your file catch and store

As far as a model side I recommend to closely follow this tutorial.

If you try to do smth. without form you'll waste time inventing bycicle.
