Symfony2 Filesystem - Save a stream of data in an existent directory - php

Question

I have a data stream that I need to save in a PDF file and then store that file in an already existent directory, which is Documents/pdf. This directory is at the same level of src, app, web directories, and has all the permissions to write in it.
With my solution I always have the file saved under the web directory. I want the file to be under Documents/pdf. This is my controller:
/**
* #Route("/api/savePdf", name = "save_pdf")
* #Method("POST")
**/
public function savePdfAction(Request $request) {
$pdfPath = $this->get("kernel")->getRootDir() . '/../Documents/pdf/';
$data = $request->getContent();
$name = 'file.pdf';
$dateNow = new \DateTime('now');
$date = $dateNow->format('Y-m-d H-i-s');
$fileName = $date.$name;
try {
$fs = new Filesystem();
$fs->dumpFile($fileName, $data);
move_uploaded_file($fileName, $pdfPath.$fileName);
return new Response ("File saved correctly", 200, array('Content-Type' => 'application/json') );
}
catch(IOException $e) {
return new Response ("Error!", 500, array('Content-Type' => 'application/json'));
}
return new Response();
}

Don't use
move_uploaded_file
http://php.net/manual/en/function.move-uploaded-file.php
This function checks to ensure that the file designated by filename is a valid upload file (meaning that it was uploaded via PHP's HTTP POST upload mechanism).
I'm just guessing here but since you dump the content to a file yourself i don't think it does satisfy the move_uploaded_file usage condition.
Why don't you dump the content directly into the targetfolder and get rid of a manual move?
$fs->dumpFile($pdfPath.$fileName, $data);
should do the trick since your path is absolute anyways.
