thanks in advance I am creating the API in symfony 4 for just uploading the base64 image or any file through POSTMAN and I have to move the file to the targeted directory. I have written the below code in the controller. Through controller I am trying to move the file to the directory, but

I am getting the error as :

Uncaught Warning: file_put_contents(images/5c78de505abdd.svg): failed to open stream: No such file or directory {“exception”:”[object] (ErrorException(code: 0): Warning: file_put_contents(images/5c78de505abdd.svg): failed to open stream: No such file or directory at /home/ragiththomas/Sites/asco-forum/src/Modules/Forum/ForumController.php:1107)”} []

POSTMAN request for svg file:

  1. file_put_contents creates the file if it doesn’t exist, but it fails if you try to put the file in a directory that doesn’t exist. So you should try the following:

    • check if the images directory exists
    • check the write permissions of the directory
    • try with an absolute path, so in your case probably $target_dir = '/home/ragiththomas/Sites/asco-forum/images/';

  2. With symfony4, another way is to use vichuploadbundle. We can take an example with image.

    composer require vich/uploader-bundle
    

    In the config/bundles.php file don’t forget to check if this line appear :

    VichUploaderBundleVichUploaderBundle::class => ['all' => true],
    

    In the config/services.yaml, add this configuration (it’s just an example)

    # config/services.yaml
    parameters:
        app.path.images: /uploads/images
    

    don’t forget to create uploads directory inside public directory and images directory inside uploads directory.

    And you configure the file config/packages/vich_uploader.yaml like :

    # config/packages/vich_uploader.yaml
    vich_uploader:
        db_driver: orm
    
        mappings:
            object_image:
                uri_prefix: '%app.path.images%'
                upload_destination:   '%kernel.project_dir%/public%app.path.images%'
                namer: VichUploaderBundleNamingUniqidNamer
                delete_on_remove: true
                delete_on_update: true
    
    • create an image entity (with validation assert) like :

        }
    
    

    create a form image entity like :

    
        <?php
    
        namespace AppForm;
    
        use AppEntityImage;
        use SymfonyComponentFormAbstractType;
        use SymfonyComponentFormExtensionCoreTypeFileType;
        use SymfonyComponentFormFormBuilderInterface;
        use SymfonyComponentOptionsResolverOptionsResolver;
    
        class ImageType extends AbstractType
        {
            public function buildForm(FormBuilderInterface $builder, array $options)
            {
                $builder
                    ->add('imageFile', FileType::class)
                ;
            }
    
            public function configureOptions(OptionsResolver $resolver)
            {
                $resolver->setDefaults([
                    'data_class' => Image::class
                ]);
            }
        }
    
    
    • you create an UploadedBase64File service (in Utils directory that you will create ) like
    
        <?php
    
        namespace AppUtils;
    
        use SymfonyComponentHttpFoundationFileUploadedFile;
    
        class UploadedBase64File extends UploadedFile
        {
    
            public function __construct(string $base64Content, string $originalName)
            {
                $filePath = tempnam(sys_get_temp_dir(), 'UploadedFile');
                $data = base64_decode($this->getBase64String($base64Content));
                file_put_contents($filePath, $data);
                $error = null;
                $mimeType = null;
                $test = true;
    
                parent::__construct($filePath, $originalName, $mimeType, $error, $test);
            }
    
            private function getBase64String(string $base64Content)
            {
    
                $data = explode(';base64,', $base64Content);
                return $data[1];
    
            }
    
        }
    
    
    • Finally in a controller, you can do something like :
        <?php
    
        namespace AppControllerApi;
    
        use SymfonyBundleFrameworkBundleControllerAbstractController;
        use SymfonyComponentHttpFoundationRequest;
        use SymfonyComponentRoutingAnnotationRoute;
        use AppUtilsUploadedBase64File;
    
        class CoreController extends AbstractController
        {
           /**
             * @Route("/api/images", methods={"POST"}, name="api_add_image")
             */
             public function addImage(Request $request) 
             {
                 $data = json_decode($request->getContent(), true);
                 if($data === null
                    || !is_array($data)
                    || count($data) !== 1
                    || !isset($data['image']['name'], $data['image']['value'])
                    || count($data['image']) !== 2
                 ) {
                    // Throw invalid format request for image
                 }
    
                 $imageFile = new UploadedBase64File($data['image']['value'], $data['image']['name']);
                 $image = new Image();
                 $form = $this->createForm(ImageType::class, $image, ['csrf_protection' => false]);
                 $form->submit(['imageFile' => $imageFile]);  
    
                 if(!($form->isSubmitted() && $form->isValid())) {
                     // Send json form error
                 }
    
                 // Persist, do thing you want to do and send json response 
             }
       }
    

    And if you want to test in postman, you can do something like :

    
        {
            "image": {
                "name": "originalfilename.png",
                "value": "base64 content"
            }
        }
    

    This is an attempt of other solution.
