[Solved] Image Manipulation Class - PHS - 01-17-2020
Hello!
I am trying to implement the image manipulation library in my controller. But when I try to use the base_url() path, the library cannot find the path!
Code:
$path_save = base_url('assets/images/test.jpg');
$image = \Config\Services::image()
->withFile($image_file->getTempName())
->fit(100, 100, 'center')
->save($path_save);What is the difference in using the path to the directory where the image will be saved like this:
Code:
base_url('assets/images/test.jpg')and this way:
Code:
'../public/assets/images/test.jpg'Is there a correct way to indicate the directory path to save the image?

$path_save = ROOTPATH . 'public/assets/images/test.jpg';
or
$path_save = FCPATH . 'assets/images/test.jpg';

Hello mate !
When using "../", the path is relative to the location of the file on the server.
When using "base_url", the path is relative to the public location of the file.
"base_url" will add "https://my.domain.com/" in front, which means that the file must be publicly accessible, and must be located in the "public" folder.
For instance, if we want to include a php file, we will do "include APPPATH. 'Libraries/myfile.php';". But you can not do something like "include base_url ('../app/Libraries/myfile.php');" because the "app" folder is not publicly accessible.
So, it is "normal" that base_url is not working. It is used when you want to provide a public link (a link that will probably be displayed on the page for the final user).
You probably don't want to use "base_url()" in your controller (at least for what you are doing).
