Upload a file using Symfony2 and a simple form - php

Question

I'm trying to upload a file in my symfony2 project by using a simple Form.
I did read the official doc of symfony but Id want only move my file to directory and update a field in a db table (called user) not create an entity for the file. I use an example I succeed to upload but in .tmp extension (ex. phpXXX.tmp). Any Ideas please.
here my code :
Document.php:
use Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\File\File;
use Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\File\UploadedFile;
class Document
{
private $file;
private $subDir;
private $filePersistencePath;
/** #var string */
protected static $uploadDirectory = '%kernel.root_dir%/../styles/images';
static public function setUploadDirectory($dir)
{
self::$uploadDirectory = $dir;
}
static public function getUploadDirectory()
{
if (self::$uploadDirectory === null) {
throw new \RuntimeException("Trying to access upload directory for profile files");
}
return self::$uploadDirectory;
}
public function setSubDirectory($dir)
{
$this->subDir = $dir;
}
public function getSubDirectory()
{
if ($this->subDir === null) {
throw new \RuntimeException("Trying to access sub directory for profile files");
}
return $this->subDir;
}
public function setFile(File $file)
{
$this->file = $file;
}
public function getFile()
{
return new File(self::getUploadDirectory() . "/" . $this->filePersistencePath);
}
public function getOriginalFileName()
{
return $this->file->getClientOriginalName();
}
public function getFilePersistencePath()
{
return $this->filePersistencePath;
}
public function processFile()
{
if (! ($this->file instanceof UploadedFile) ) {
return false;
}
$uploadFileMover = new UploadFileMover();
$this->filePersistencePath = $uploadFileMover->moveUploadedFile($this->file, self::getUploadDirectory(),$this->subDir);
}
}
UploadFileMover
use Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\File\UploadedFile;
class UploadFileMover {
public function moveUploadedFile(UploadedFile $file, $uploadBasePath, $relativePath) {
$originalName = $file->getFilename();
// use filemtime() to have a more determenistic way to determine the subpath, otherwise its hard to test.
// $relativePath = date('Y-m', filemtime($file->getPath()));
$targetFileName = $relativePath . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . $originalName;
$targetFilePath = $uploadBasePath . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . $targetFileName;
$ext = $file->getExtension();
$i = 1;
while (file_exists($targetFilePath) && md5_file($file->getPath()) != md5_file($targetFilePath)) {
if ($ext) {
$prev = $i == 1 ? "" : $i;
$targetFilePath = $targetFilePath . str_replace($prev . $ext, $i++ . $ext, $targetFilePath);
} else {
$targetFilePath = $targetFilePath . $i++;
}
}
$targetDir = $uploadBasePath . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . $relativePath;
if (!is_dir($targetDir)) {
$ret = mkdir($targetDir, umask(), true);
if (!$ret) {
throw new \RuntimeException("Could not create target directory to move temporary file into.");
}
}
$file->move($targetDir, basename($targetFilePath));
return str_replace($uploadBasePath . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR, "", $targetFilePath);
}
}
controller :
public function uploadImgAction(Request $req) {
if ($req->getMethod() == 'POST') {
$status = 'success';
$uploadedURL = '';
$message = 'Image modifiée';
$image = $req->files->get('fileselect');
if (($image instanceof UploadedFile) && ($image->getError() == '0')) {
if ($image->getSize() < 2000000) {
$originalName = $image->getClientOriginalName();
$name_array = explode('.', $originalName);
$file_type = $name_array[sizeof($name_array) - 1];
$valid_filetypes = array('jpg', 'jpeg', 'bmp', 'png');
if (in_array(strtolower($file_type), $valid_filetypes)) {
//télécharegement du fichier
//Start Uploading File
$document = new Document();
$document->setFile($image);
$document->setSubDirectory('uploads');
$document->processFile();
$uploadedURL=$uploadedURL = $document->getUploadDirectory() . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . $document->getSubDirectory() . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . $image->getBasename();
} else {
$status = 'echoue';
$message = 'Seuls les extensions png, jpg, jpeg et bmp sont acceptées';
}
} else {
$status = 'echoue';
$message = 'La taille du fichier dépasse 2MB';
}
} else {
$status = 'echoue';
$message = 'Une erreur de télechargement';
}
return $this->render('PIRecrutementBundle:xx:xxx.html.twig');
//return new Response($uploadedUrl);
} else {
return $this->render('xxxBundle:xx:xxx.html.twig');
}
}

Answer 1

Exactly as Tomasz Turkowski said the solution is to change the base-name of the file by its real name using $file->getClientOriginalName( in class UploadFileMover.
class UploadFileMover {
public function moveUploadedFile(UploadedFile $file, $uploadBasePath, $relativePath)
{
// $originalName = $file->getFilename();
$originalName = $file->getClientOriginalName();
// use filemtime() to have a more determenistic

Without changing anything like .tmp to some other extention or the original name, you can still store the same obtained path in DB. I think you can write a query to store the path in DB after this statement in your controller
$uploadedURL=$uploadedURL = $document->getUploadDirectory() . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . $document->getSubDirectory() . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . $image->getBasename();
By using the variable $uploadURL like
{
//in your methodAction
"Update [YOUR TABLE] SET [PATHcolomn]=".$uploadURL." WHERE USERid=".$user->getUid()." "
$path= "SELECT [PATHcolomN] FROM [YOUR TABLE] WHERE USERid=".$user->getUid()." "
$this->data['path']=$path;
return $this->data;
}
After Updating, you can fetch this path in the place of <img src= {{ path }} >
