I have a joomla component that fetches the audio songs from the music folder on the server and plays them in the front end. And the users can upload their songs from the front end.
But the problem is that, the component settings are such that the music folder path must be outside of the web root.
The path looks like:
/home/username/public_html/audio
But i am confused how to upload the files to a location inside 'public_html' folder, using php. What should be the destination address that i can use in my code?
To get the server path in the Joomla environment:
echo JPATH_SITE;

-- Project Folder assign in url web (ex : abc.com)
Try to access path file in Images like "/../Images/ABC.png" but the url in web becomes abc.com/Images not assign folder images outside project folder.
So, can someone help how to access the folder images outside?
Just create a folder in codeigniter root directory.
An example: I created a folder called "assets" inside codeigniter & upload a image in this folder. Image name is photo.jpg.
Now you can use in view. So base_url automatically replace with your website url.
Note: Must enter your website base_url in app.php
I am taking over a website from a sister company and their site has several places where a folder will have a sub folder and a .php file with the same name. For example, the parts folder will have a store folder that contains several more files and folders but it contains a store.php file as well. nginx is throwing a forbidden error because it thinks the user is trying to list the folder directory but the url /parts/store/ should show the store.php file and still allow the user to go to /parts/store/category/product and should show a product file nested in the parts/store/ sub folders.
One option would be to rename the files you want to be directory index as indes.php if your Nginx configuration allows for that. That in my mind is the simplest solution and is most inline with web standards.
I have a laravel project that i hosted on a shared host. using the system i saw on Laravel Deploy Instruction
So am suppose to upload image, -- user's image. To the public_html folder but since am not in the public_html so the users can't upload their image. since my code lie out side the public_html folder and it doesn't allow write permission for general users. so i tried uploading it to 'storage folder' (ie the my laravel project folder, that is in the sane level as the www 'public_html' folder.) it works i can see the image in the storage folder but i cant access because it is behind the public_html folder. and whatever can't be point to. Example project/storage/app/public is the folder that has the user image if i point to it in <img src="project/storage/app/public/user.png" > it wont display because the browser looks for project/storage/app/public inside the public_html folder whereas it is outside the public_html. So can someone touch on this. Thanks guys. Or is htaccess use in this case?
you need to create symlink to Your storage folder .
please see this answer:
Laravel 5 - How to access image uploaded in storage within View?
the above method given by the link works for offline however not all shared hosting site support artisan Laravel sysmlink. so the absolute and best way to do this is with php symlink() function From PHP MANUAL
so just add this code to your web.php ie project\route\web.php
Route::get('/symlink', function()
{
if(symlink('/home/username/projectfolder/storage/app/public', '/home/username/public_html/storage')){
echo "We rock yea stackoverflow!!!! best programming software";}
});
so the username is the name of your home dir
I installed two codeigniter for desktop and mobile version. My directory structure is as follows:
www/projectfordesktop/application
www/projectfordesktop/uploads
www/projectfordesktop/projectformobile/application
My problem is that when I upload files from mobile site I want my file to be uploaded in main codeigniter application www/projectfordesktop/uploads. So, I want to access main codeigniter application base_url to www/projectfordesktop/projectformobile/. How is it possible.
I made two project because it redirect to m.project.com when accessed from mobile. And when access from desktop project.com. Is it good idea. If not, then is there any way I can use seperate view for mobile and desktop. Please help.
Thank you.
For security and a bunch of other reasons you absolutely do not want the upload folder in your application folder. And if at all possible you want your application folder and system folder above the public root. The other consideration - its possible and in some ways desirable to rename your application and system folder. So if your public folder is www
desktopapplication/www/
mobileappliction/www/
system306/www/
Now they are all safely above the public www, and they are labeled for what they are. Next you can have folders in the public folder, that contain the main index.php file for the specific application.
www/projectfordesktop/index.php
www/projectformobile/index.php
Open up the index.php file and redo the file paths to the application and system folder. Like
$system_path = '../../system306';
$application_folder = '../../desktopapplication';
The upload folder will now be either in www or one of the folders like projectfordesktop. Typically you would also put your css, js, etc files in there as well.
www/projectfordesktop/upload/
www/projectfordesktop/css/
www/projectfordesktop/js/
www/projectfordesktop/img/
Now - all the files which are public - are in a public folder. All the files which should be kept private - your application and system folder - are not public. And because you have labeled your application and system folder it makes it much easier to switch to different versions or revert back if needed.
