Hi,
I try to understand how can I manage to upload mp3 files to S3.
This is for a small podcast application.
I have the following code
$filesystem->disk('s3')->put($podcast->filename, $request->file('podcast')->getClientOriginalName());
When I try with a basic .txt file or even an image it works.
But as soon as I try to upload a mp3 file the code run then after a few second it returns and redirects (normal behaviour).
When I check on my S3 console the file is correctly upload except it is a 26 bytes file instead of 3.3 mo...
What did I miss? I googled a lot but didn't find a solution.
Thank you guys.
The second param is the data to be "put" not the $request->file('podcast')->getClientOriginalName() so you'll need something like file_get_contents around the path.
The 26 bytes is the original name saved inside a .mp3 file on s3 :)
Storage::disk('s3')->put('file.txt', 'Contents');
Thank you @phildawson but how do I put the content as you said? I put $request->file('podcast') as second parameter? I think I have already tried that and it didn't work.
Please provide a sample. Thank you for your light.
Ok I did:
$filesystem->disk('s3')->put($podcast->filename, file_get_contents($request->file('podcast')->getRealPath()));
It worked.
Is it the right way?
Yup :) Here's the doc example
http://laravel.com/docs/master/filesystem#obtaining-disk-instances
Storage::put(
'avatars/'.$user->id,
file_get_contents($request->file('avatar')->getRealPath())
);
Thank you very much.
