README

This bundle aims to help management of files that were sent thought the form.

Symfony2 does a great job with converting raw file data into UploadedFile object and the goal of this bundle is to further extend it.

Installation (via composer)

To install FileUtilityBundle with Composer just add the following to your composer.json file:

{
    // ...
    require: {
        "exploring/fileutility": "dev-master"
    }
}

Please replace the "dev-master" with some concrete release.

Then run:

php composer.phar update

And register the bundle within AppKernel.php

$bundles = array(
    ....
    new Exploring\FileUtilityBundle\ExploringFileUtilityBundle(),
);

You are all set.

Configuration

The bundle uses several configutaion entries. However, the minimalistic configuation should look like:

exploring_file_utility:
    upload_root: %kernel.root_dir%/../web/uploads

All file are uploaded to a specific subdirectory of upload_root path. You can have as many subdirectories as you like.

You can read full configuration reference here.

Notice: Concept of directory "alias" has been removed in v2.0. Directories are now auto discovered during the warm up process. If you instantiate FileManager manually, you can still set available directories.

Advice: Either keep your upload root diretory out of web public directory or ensure proper access rights to file stored there in order to avoid execution of files uploaded.

Basic usage

You need to use service names exploring_file_utility.manager in order to gain access to FileManager:

$file = ...; // instance of UploadedFile
$fileManager = $this->get('exploring_file_utility.manager');
$fileDescriptor = $fileManager->save($file, 'foo');
$fileManager->commit();

The example above takes some arbitrary file and, given the configuration above, uploads it to /path/to/symfonyapp/web/uploads/foo.

FileManager's operations are transaction based. That means that any changes made to the file-system will be reverted back unless you callcommit():

You can invoke rollback() to revert any changes as well at any time:

$fileManager->rollback();
