upload directly to s3

Did you take a look at this? https://mattstauffer.co/blog/laravel-5.0-cloud-file-drivers

I just read that article. The article leads back to https://laracasts.com/series/whats-new-in-laravel-5/episodes/6, which is the tutorial that i am having an issue with implementing. I am trying to figure out how to implement PUT and GET using the S3 filesystem to the code above.

If you are looking to just pass the file to S3 it can be done as follows

@rsands where do I put that code? on the top of the php code above?

 // Lets get all these Arguments and assign them!
    $image = $args['image'];
    $folder = $args['folder'];
    $filename = $args['filename']; 
    $type = $args['type'];

    // Hey if the folder we want to put them in is images. Let's give them a month and year folder
    if($folder == 'images'){
        $month_year = date('FY').'/';
    } else {
        $month_year = '';
    }

    // Check it out! This is the upload folder
    $upload_folder = 'content/uploads/' . $folder . '/'.$month_year;


    if ( @getimagesize($image) ){

        // if the folder doesn't exist then create it.
        if (!file_exists($upload_folder)) {
            mkdir($upload_folder, 0777, true);
        }

        if($type =='upload'){

            $filename =  $image->getClientOriginalName();

            // if the file exists give it a unique name
            while (file_exists($upload_folder.$filename)) {
                $filename =  uniqid() . '-' . $filename;
            }


            $uploadSuccess = $image->move($upload_folder, $filename);

            if(strpos($filename, '.gif') > 0){
                $new_filename = str_replace('.gif', '-animation.gif', $filename);
                copy($upload_folder . $filename, $upload_folder . $new_filename);
            }

        } else if($type = 'url'){
            
            $file = file_get_contents($image);

            if(strpos($image, '.gif') > 0){
                $extension = '-animation.gif';
            } else {
                $extension = '.jpg';
            }


            $filename = $filename . $extension;

            if (file_exists($upload_folder.$filename)) {
                $filename =  uniqid() . '-' . $filename . $extension;
            }

            if(strpos($image, '.gif') > 0){
                file_put_contents($upload_folder.$filename, $file);
                $filename = str_replace('-animation.gif', '.gif', $filename);
            }

            file_put_contents($upload_folder.$filename, $file);

        }
       
    
        $settings = Setting::first();

        $img = Image::make($upload_folder . $filename);

        if($folder == 'images'){
            $img->resize(1280, null, function ($constraint) {
                $constraint->aspectRatio();
            });

            $filename_large = pathinfo($filename, PATHINFO_FILENAME) . '-large.' . pathinfo($filename, PATHINFO_EXTENSION);

            Image::make($upload_folder . $filename)->resize(960, null, function ($constraint) {
                $constraint->aspectRatio();
            })->save($upload_folder . $filename_large);

            \Storage::disk('s3')->put($filename_large, file_get_contents($upload_folder . $filename_large));
            
            $filename_medium = pathinfo($filename, PATHINFO_FILENAME) . '-medium.' . pathinfo($filename, PATHINFO_EXTENSION);

            Image::make($upload_folder . $filename)->resize(640, null, function ($constraint) {
                $constraint->aspectRatio();
            })->save($upload_folder . $filename_medium);

            \Storage::disk('s3')->put($filename_medium, file_get_contents($upload_folder . $filename_medium));

            $filename_small = pathinfo($filename, PATHINFO_FILENAME) . '-small.' . pathinfo($filename, PATHINFO_EXTENSION);
            
            Image::make($upload_folder . $filename)->resize(320, null, function ($constraint) {
                $constraint->aspectRatio();
            })->save($upload_folder . $filename_small);

            \Storage::disk('s3')->put($filename_small, file_get_contents($upload_folder . $filename_small));
            
        } else if($folder == 'avatars'){
            $img->resize(300, null, function ($constraint) {
                $constraint->aspectRatio();
            });
        }

        $img->save($upload_folder . $filename);
        
        \Storage::disk('s3')->put($filename, file_get_contents($upload_folder . $filename));

        return $month_year . $filename;

    } else {
        return false;}}</code>

Its not a great looking piece of code but it should work. After any image save() call you can simply put the storage disk put call. It will put it onto the bucket in the root path with the same filename as you set.

@rsands Wow, I never got a email notification for your answer. Thank you. I was able to upload to s3 bucket with your code. How do I keep the file structure and unlink from local?

@rsands I figured out how to change the file structure. Now all I have to do is unlink and delete the local file.

I figured that out too. All I had to do was use unlink($filename) on each put command. Thanks again for all your help.

@Man Sorry i too missed your replying to this thread. You are correct unlink().
