What does it do?

This class manages file uploads for you. In short, it manages the uploaded file, and allows you to do whatever you want with the file, especially if it is an image, and as many times as you want.

It is the ideal class to quickly integrate file upload in your site. If the file is an image, you can convert, resize, crop it in many ways. You can also apply filters, add borders, text, watermarks, etc... That's all you need for a gallery script for instance. Supported formats are PNG, JPG, GIF, WEBP and BMP.

You can also use the class to work on local files, which is especially useful to use the image manipulation features. The class also supports Flash uploaders and XMLHttpRequest.

The class works with PHP 4, 5 and 7, and its error messages can be localized at will.

Install via composer

Edit your composer.json file to include the following:

    {
       "require": {
           "verot/class.upload.php": "dev-master"
       }
    }

Demo and examples

Check out the test/ directory, which you can load in your browser. You can test the class and its different ways to instantiate it, see some code examples, and run some tests.

How to use it?

Create a simple HTML file, with a form such as:

<form enctype="multipart/form-data" method="post" action="upload.php">
  <input type="file" size="32" name="image_field" value="">
  <input type="submit" name="Submit" value="upload">
</form>

Create a file called upload.php (into which you have first loaded the class):

$handle = new upload($_FILES['image_field']);
if ($handle->uploaded) {
  $handle->file_new_name_body   = 'image_resized';
  $handle->image_resize         = true;
  $handle->image_x              = 100;
  $handle->image_ratio_y        = true;
  $handle->process('/home/user/files/');
  if ($handle->processed) {
    echo 'image resized';
    $handle->clean();
  } else {
    echo 'error : ' . $handle->error;
  }
}

How does it work?

You instanciate the class with the $_FILES['my_field'] array where my_field is the field name from your upload form. The class will check if the original file has been uploaded to its temporary location (alternatively, you can instanciate the class with a local filename).

You can then set a number of processing variables to act on the file. For instance, you can rename the file, and if it is an image, convert and resize it in many ways. You can also set what will the class do if the file already exists.

Then you call the function process() to actually perform the actions according to the processing parameters you set above. It will create new instances of the original file, so the original file remains the same between each process. The file will be manipulated, and copied to the given location. The processing variables will be reset once it is done.

You can repeat setting up a new set of processing variables, and calling process() again as many times as you want. When you have finished, you can call clean() to delete the original uploaded file.

If you don't set any processing parameters and call process() just after instanciating the class. The uploaded file will be simply copied to the given location without any alteration or checks.

Don't forget to add enctype="multipart/form-data" in your form tag <form> if you want your form to upload the file.

How to process local files?

Instantiate the class with the local filename, as following:

$handle = new upload('/home/user/myfile.jpg');

How to process a file uploaded via XMLHttpRequest?

Instantiate the class with the special php: keyword, as following:

$handle = new upload('php:'.$_SERVER['HTTP_X_FILE_NAME']);

Prefixing the argument with php: tells the class to retrieve the uploaded data in php://input, and the rest is the stream's filename, which is generally in $_SERVER['HTTP_X_FILE_NAME']. But you can use any other name you see fit:

$handle = new upload('php:mycustomname.ext');

How to process raw file data?

Instantiate the class with the special data: keyword, as following:

$handle = new upload('data:'.$file_contents);

If your data is base64-encoded, the class provides a simple base64: keyword, which will decode your data prior to using it:

$handle = new upload('base64:'.$base64_file_contents);

How to set the language?

Instantiate the class with a second argument being the language code:

$handle = new upload($_FILES['image_field'], 'fr_FR');
$handle = new upload('/home/user/myfile.jpg', 'fr_FR');

How to output the resulting file or picture directly to the browser?

Simply call process() without an argument (or with null as first argument):

$handle = new upload($_FILES['image_field']);
header('Content-type: ' . $handle->file_src_mime);
echo $handle->process();
die();

Or if you want to force the download of the file:

$handle = new upload($_FILES['image_field']);
header('Content-type: ' . $handle->file_src_mime);
header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=".rawurlencode($handle->file_src_name).";");
echo $handle->process();
die();

Troubleshooting

If the class doesn't do what you want it to do, you can display the log, in order to see in details what the class does. To obtain the log, just add this line at the end of your code:

echo $handle->log;

• transparent true color images can be saved as JPG/BMP with the semi transparent areas being merged with image_default_color
• fixed conversion of images to true color
• the class can now output the uploaded files content as the return value of process() if the function is called with an empty or null argument, or no argument

v 0.24 25/05/2007

• added image_background_color, to set the default background color of an image
• added possibility of using replacement tokens in text labels

• the class now converts palette based images to true colors before doing graphic manipulations

v 0.23 23/12/2006

• fixed a bug when processing more than once the same uploaded file. If there is an open_basedir restriction, the class now creates a temporary file for the first call to process(). This file will be used for subsequent processes, and will be deleted upon calling clean()

v 0.22 16/12/2006

• added automatic creation of a temporary file if the upload directory is not within open_basedir
• fixed a bug which was preventing to work on a local file by overwriting it with its processed copy
• added MIME types video/x-ms-wmv and image/x-png and fixed PNG support for IE weird MIME types
• modified image_ratio_crop so it can accept one or more from string 'TBLR', determining which side of the image is kept while cropping
• added support for multiple lines in the text, using "\n" as a line break
• added image_text_line_spacing which allow to set the space between several lines of text
• added image_text_alignment which allow to set the alignment when text has several lines
• image_text_font can now be set to the path of a GDF font to load external fonts
• added image_reflection_height to create a reflection of the source image, which height is in pixels or percentage
• added image_reflection_space to set the space in pixels between the source image and the reflection
• added image_reflection_color to set the reflection background color
• added image_reflection_opacity to set the initial level of opacity of the reflection

v 0.21 30/09/2006

• added image_ratio_crop which resizes within image_x and image_y, keeping ratio, but filling the space by cropping excedent of image
• added mime_check, which default is true, to set checks against allowed MIME list
• if MIME is empty, the class now triggers an error
