Hello,
Im trying to have a function where a user can change their profile picture, im using S3 and when following the tutorial im getting problems.
Here is a copy of my controller.
<?php namespace App\Http\Controllers;
use App\User;
use Session;
use Input;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use Illuminate\Http\RedirectResponse;
use Illuminate\Contracts\Filesystem\Filesystem;
class UserController extends Controller
{
public function postChangeImg(Request $request, Filesystem $filesystem)
{
$user = User::where('email', $request->user());
$file = Input::file('file');
$filesystem->put('15.png', $file);
dd('done');
}
}
I named it 15.png for a test, and in the s3 bucket the image is corrupted and only 14bytes in size regardless of the image that i upload.
Does anyone know what im doing wrong?
Are you sure you receive an image? Did you update your form with this?
{!! Form::open(['route' => 'upload-image', 'files' => true]) !!}
If you do something like I showed below you should receive an image object. If you receive NULL you need to add the 'files' => true to your form.
dd(Input::file('file'));
@blackbird the image is being recieved by the system as i can do this
dd($file);
Here is the result :
UploadedFile {#27 ▼
-test: false
-originalName: "Image 2015-04-14 at 8.03.48 pm.png"
-mimeType: "image/png"
-size: 79348
-error: 0
}
I was looking into it a little deeper and renamed the image from i downloaded from s3 to .txt at the end and opened it with notepad and here are the contents of it
/tmp/phpVmu5bW
This means you are not uploading the correct information of the image ;) I think you are uploading the temp name of the file instead of the file itself
yeah becuase if i move the file to a folder and rename it, i go to upload it and the information changes, how would i upload the contents of the image then?
This is the Solution:
public function postChangeImg(Request $request, Filesystem $filesystem)
{
$user = User::where('email', $request->user());
$file = Input::file('file');
if ($file->getMimeType() != "image/jpeg" && $file->getMimeType() != "image/png") {
dd('error not image');
} else {
$ext = "." . explode(".", $file->getClientOriginalName())[1];
}
$filesystem->put('/profile/avatar/' . $request->user()->id . $ext, file_get_contents($file));
dd('completed);
}
