Introduction

Vista PHP Upload module is a part of Vista PHP Framework, but can also be used as a stand alone file manipulation package for PHP. It is designed to simplify file uploads and file manipulation in PHP.

Getting Started

Installation

composer require vista-php/upload

Usage

All you need to do is instantiate the Vista\Upload\FileUploader class and call the upload method. Constructor of the FileUploader class takes one parameter:

• string $name - The name of the file input field in the form.

Example:

use Vista\Upload\FileUploader;

$uploader = new FileUploader('file');
$uploader->upload();

Configuration

You can configure the allowed mime types, maximum file size, upload directory, allow overwrite, file name, file nameprefix, file name suffix, allowed file types and perform manual validation based on the configured criteria.

Example:

use Vista\Upload\FileUploader;

$uploader = new FileUploader('file');
$uploader->setAllowedMimeTypes(['image/jpeg', 'image/png', 'image/gif'])
    ->setMaxFileSize(1024 * 1024); // 1MB
    ->setUploadDirectory(__DIR__ . '/uploads') // It should be a writable directory
    ->setAllowOverwrite(true) // default is false
    ->setFileName('file')
    ->setFileNamePrefix('prefix_')
    ->setFileNameSuffix('_suffix.jpg');

$uploader->upload();

If you need manual validation based on defined criteria without actually uploading the file, you can call:

$validation = $uploader->validate(); // true or false

Deleting Files

You can delete files using the delete method. It takes the file path as a parameter.

use Vista\Upload\FileUploader;

$uploader = new FileUploader();
$success = $uploader->delete(__DIR__ '/path/to/file.jpg'); // returns true or false
