Question

I don’t understand Gaufrette and symfony2.

This seems to me like it’s only working for textfiles/textcontent.
I can create a file but can’t copy from a local source (i.e. a path).

What i would like to do is something like this:

$adapter = new LocalAdapter($realpath);
$filesystem = new Filesystem($adapter);
$filesystem->fromUploadedFile($tempPathOfUploadedFile,$idForGaufrette);

How do I store an image and how do I handle it’s output when requested by the user?

Update:

• How can I access the temp filename of an uploaded file in symfony”?
• How can I access the existing, private attribute $path that exists in the Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\File\UploadedFile Object in Symfony2?

Answer 1

The method copy(x, y) is not implemented but if you want storing a file you can move it using the method
rename($key, $new)
defined in the Filesystem Class.

For handle the output when requested by the user, all you need is a link to the image path (probaly in the database). So you don’t need the filesystem (you can check if the file exists with the has($key) method).

In all cases use the adapter Local to work in local.

If you need a stream wrapper like “ftp://mydomain/myPicture” i recently send a PR to configures the stream wrapper in the config.yml, and register filiesystems that you want and their domain.
