How to know uploaded file size on symfony 3? - php

Question

i use FOSRestbundle to manage my api. I implemented a action to upload a file on symfony that it's working well. But the problem is that i need to obtain the file size... My action get the file on this way:
$uploadedfile = $request->files->get('file');
this obtains an array of all files that i upload.
Reading the doc of symfony for the $uploadedfile object, there is a method called:
getClientSize()
so i used and always return 0:
$fileSize = $uploadedfile->getClientSize();
There are another way to get the file size? I'm doing something wrong?
Thanks a lot.

Answer 1

how about the solution here?
http://symfony.com/doc/current/reference/constraints/File.html#maxsize
// src/AppBundle/Entity/Author.php
namespace AppBundle\Entity;
use Symfony\Component\Validator\Constraints as Assert;
class Author
{
/**
* #Assert\File(
* maxSize = "1024k",
* mimeTypes = {"application/pdf", "application/x-pdf"},
* mimeTypesMessage = "Please upload a valid PDF"
* )
*/
protected $bioFile;
}
you might have to create an entity for that, if you have not done so.
So if you want to use validation in your controller, you would do something like
// ...
use Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\Response;
use AppBundle\Entity\Author;
// ...
public function authorAction()
{
$author = new Author();
// ... do something to the $author object
$validator = $this->get('validator');
$errors = $validator->validate($author);
if (count($errors) > 0) {
$errorsString = (string) $errors;
return new Response($errorsString);
}
return new Response('The author is valid! Yes!');
}
you can test it, by uploading a file larger than the maxsize, set in your given Author Entity in that case you would get the message "Please upload a valid PDF"

Have you successfully moved the file into the intended folder? if you have, you can just call a native php function filesize().
