inhibiting image download - richb201 - 07-24-2021
I am setting a flag like this in __construct()
$_SESSION['iUploadImage']=0;
Then in _init() I am running
if ($_SESSION['iUploadImage']==0) //check to see if already transferred
{
$this->MyModel->get_image(); //gets images from s3
$_SESSION['iUploadImage']=1; //the files have been transferred
}
But what I am finding is that $_SESSION['iUploadImage'] keeps getting set back to 0. The goal of this code its to only upload the images once. Any idea why this happens?
RE: inhibiting image download - richb201 - 07-25-2021
I am pretty frustrated with this. I tried using a glob var instead of a session var but it doesn;t work either. Here is the decl
$GLOBALS['iUploadImage']=0;
class Configure extends CI_Controller
{
and here is the test
if ($GLOBALS['iUploadImage']==0) //check to see if already transferred
{
$this->MyModel->get_image(); //gets images from s3
$GLOBALS['iUploadImage']=1; //the files have been transferred
}
This downloading reoccurs everytime a user clicks to a new page. Actually not a new page since this is a single page app.
I want to download the images only once. It would have been much easier if I just saved the thumbnail in mysql. I wanted to also keep the full image so that users could access it years later, but I am running out of patience with the issue with that.
I am using AWS transfer to download the images. The reason I went to S3 at all was the size limitation on MYSQL. While Koolreport can use images directly from mysql, it can't use them from S3. S3 is a much cheaper way to keep large files.
I am considering reworking this area (ugh!) and keeping the thumnails up on MYSQL, and only download the actual file when a user asks for it.
This speed issue is killing my app.

Why not use chmod to change the permissions on the image folder?
Change it to read only etc;
RE: inhibiting image download - richb201 - 07-27-2021
Insite, won't chmod just give me an error when I try copying? I am currently using
public function __construct()
{
static $hasRun=0;
parent::__construct();
etc...
and then in _init(){
if ($hasRun==0) {
$this->MyModel->get_image(); //gets images from s3
$hasRun=1;
}
I am getting an error that static var $hasRun
Message: Undefined variable: hasRun
Can not define a static var whose scope is global?
RE: inhibiting image download - ojmichael - 07-27-2021
PHP Code:
static::$hasRun = 1;
RE: inhibiting image download - richb201 - 07-27-2021
static $hasRun=0;
Message: Access to undeclared static property: Configure::$hasRun

it will not give you an error as long as you set it to owner, owner will only allow you access.

I am actually not the owner. This is running inside a Docker container. When I click on the file in filemanager it says that I am the owner but I think that Docker makes its own copies and who knows who actually owns it.

The problem I see with CI3 in general is that there seems to be no way to set up an environment for a first time user. Everything runs ALL THE TIME! Other must have had this problem before?
