file uploading - JasonJJ - 04-05-2024
Hello,
I am new to coding world and using CI4.4.6
I followed the manual about file uploading and I successfully made the link to force file downloaded via web browser.
One problem I encountered is the how can I link to the mp3 file.
I made <audio><source src=""></audio> but it didn't play the mp3 file.
I researched and found some solution;
1. I have to move 'WRITEPATH . 'uploads/' directory to '/public' because /public directory is able to be accessed via web.
Here is a question.
If my understanding is right, how can I change the directory from '/writable' to '/public' ?
Here is my code in Controller.
PHP Code:
$userfile = $this->request->getFile('userfile');
WRITEPATH . 'uploads/' . $userfile->store();
even though tried below the result is same strangely. File is still stored in writable directory !!!!
PHP Code:
$userfile = $this->request->getFile('userfile');
$filepath = '/public/aaa' . $userfile->store();

Read https://codeigniter.com/user_guide/libraries/uploaded_files.html#store-files
The following code is a bit difficult to understand, but $img->store() moves the file.
PHP Code:
if (! $img->hasMoved()) {
$filepath = WRITEPATH . 'uploads/' . $img->store();
$data = ['uploaded_fileinfo' => new File($filepath)];
return view('upload_success', $data);
}

According to my understanding, $file->store() is CI4's function which only works for WRITEPATH. With store(), I can only modify the folder under the WRITEPATH.
So I use $file->move() to save uploaded file and set the directory '/public' manually. After saving uploaded files in '/public', I can link mp3 file in audio tag.
