I have 3 folders in my root, "application", "system", and "uploads". In application/controllers/mycontroller.php I have this line of code.
delete_files("../../uploads/$file_name");
The file does not get deleted and I have tried a number of pathing options like ../ and ../../../ any ideas? Thanks.
Use the FCPATH constant provided to you by CodeIgniter for this.
unlink(FCPATH . '/uploads/' . $filename);
base_url() generates HTTP urls, and cannot be used to generate filesystem paths. This is why you must use one of the CI path constants. They are defined in the front controller file (index.php).
The three ones you would use are:
FCPATH - path to front controller, usually index.php
APPPATH - path to application folder
BASEPATH - path to system folder.
$file_name is a variable. You should concatenate it to your own string in order to execute the function:
delete_files("../../uploads/" . $file_name);
EDIT:
Make sure that this sentence:
echo base_url("uploads/" . $file_name);
Is echoing a valid path. If the answer is YES, try this:
$this->load->helper("url");
delete_files(base_url("uploads/" . $file_name));
Supposing that your "uploads" folder is in your root directory.
EDIT 2:
Using unlink function:
$this->load->helper("url");
unlink(base_url("uploads/" . $file_name));
Try this one.. this just a very simple solution to your problem..
If you notice CI has there on defining of base_path to your directory e.g. in the upload library's config:
$imagePath = './picture/Temporary Profile Picture/';
$config['upload_path'] = $imagePath;
$config['allowed_types'] = 'gif|jpg|jpeg|png';
$this->load->library('upload', $config);
if you notice the upload_path is './picture/Temporary Profile Picture/'
so if you want to delete a file from a directory all you have to do is use unlink() function.
unlink($imagePath . $file_name);
or
#unlink($imagePath . $file_name);
Enjoy..^^
This code was working for me. Try this in your Model or Controller. Change the file path according to yours.
file path -->> project_name/assets/uploads/file_name.jpg
public function delete_file()
{
$file = 'file_name.jpg';
$path = './assets/uploads/'.$file;
unlink($path);
}
You should try this code:
$imagepath = $config['upload_path'];
unlink($imagepath . $images);
or
delete_files($imagepath . $images);
public function deleteContent($id)
{
$this->db->where('Filename',$id);
$this->db->delete('tableName',array('Filename'=>$id));
if (unlink("upload/folderName/".$id))
{
redirect($_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER']);
}
}

I have a simple question.. Is it safe to have a app that has a file upload system for users to send images to our project, and store those files in this directory?
$file->move(public_path('../storage/app/public/files'), $name);
Or is it better to store in:
$file->move(public_path('files'), $name);
This way it stores the file in the "files" directory inside the public directory.
That would be ok and also depends on your app and number of users but I recommend to change the name of the file and also you can accept only JPG or PNG file for more security for changing the name of the file you can do it like this :
$image_name = rand() . '.' . $image->getClientOriginalExtension();
$image->move(public_path('images'), $image_name);
with this function you can get all data from db for that id then you can show whatever you want in the blade
public function show($id)
{
$data = YOUR_MODEL::findOrFail($id);
return view('view', compact('data'));
}
I am trying to delete photo from my projects public folder before updating another photo. My code looks like-
if(File::exist( $employee->avatar)){
//$employee->avatar looks /uploads/avatars/1646546082.jpg and it exist in folder
File::delete($employee->avatar);
}
This is not working in my case. If I comment these code then another photo updated without deleting perfectly. How can I solve the issue!
try php unlink function
$path = public_path()."/pictures/".$from_database->image_name;
unlink($path);
This is the code which i use in update profile picture you can do this exactly like this
$data=Auth::user();
if($request->hasFile('image')){
$image = $request->file('image');
$filename = 'merchant_'.time().'.'.$image->extension();
$location = 'asset/profile/' . $filename;
Image::make($image)->save($location);
$path = './asset/profile/';
File::delete($path.$data->image);
$in['image'] = $filename;
$data->fill($in)->save();
}
I have been searching a few codes but didnt manage to work.
The one I found is using jscon encode.
Is there any way to upload a file without changing its name into storage and database?
$fileModal = new Image();
$fileModal->name = json_encode($imgData);
$fileModal->image_path = json_encode($imgData);
$fileModal->save();
I didnt understand the json part. Was hoping to use a built in laravel.
I used the one in the documentation but didnt help.
$path = $request->file('namefile')->storeAs(
'DocumenSokongan', $request->user()->id
);
$image = $request->file('filename');
$imageName = time() . '.' . $image->getClientOriginalExtension();
$image->move($path, $imageName);
I have a few subdomain in my laravel 5 application, each sub domain have a specific configuration, like mail, nocaptcha, etc.
how to set .env file to work with my-specific subdomain ?
Yes, you can use separate .env files for each subdomain so if you use env variables in your config it will work without great modifications.
Create bootstrap/env.php file with the following content:
<?php
$app->detectEnvironment(function () use ($app) {
if (!isset($_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'])) {
Dotenv::load($app['path.base'], $app->environmentFile());
}
$pos = mb_strpos($_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'], '.');
$prefix = '';
if ($pos) {
$prefix = mb_substr($_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'], 0, $pos);
}
$file = '.' . $prefix . '.env';
if (!file_exists($app['path.base'] . '/' . $file)) {
$file = '.env';
}
Dotenv::load($app['path.base'], $file);
});
Now modify bootstrap/app.php to load your custom env.php file. Just add:
require('env.php');
after
$app = new Illuminate\Foundation\Application(
realpath(__DIR__.'/../')
);
Now you can create separate env files for each domains for example if you use testing.app, abc.testing.app and def.testing.app you can have .env file for main domain (and for all subdomains that don't have custom env files) and .abc.env and .def.env files for custom env variables your your subdomains.
The best solution I found is to use .htaccess plus env variables.
In .htaccess add these lines:
<If "%{HTTP_HOST} == 'sub.domain'">
SetEnv APP_DOMAIN sub
</If>
In bootstrap/app.php add after the app initialisation:
//own env directory for separate env files
$app->useEnvironmentPath( realpath(__DIR__ . '/../env/') );
//separate files for each domain (see htaccess)
$app->loadEnvironmentFrom( getenv('APP_DOMAIN') . '.env' );
Create a new directory called "env" in your Laravel root and add your config files as:
"sub1.env",
"sub2.env" ..etc
(Of course you can keep it in your root as is currently, but for many subdomains it's better to move into a directory => looks much cleaner => everyone's happy! :) )
You can’t. Each subdomain will be running in the same environment.
If you want per-subdomain configuration then your best bet is to either create a configuration file in the config directory with each subdomain’s settings, or use a database approach.
I had the same issue, Based on #Marcin's answer I built this one (Works with laravel 5.2.X)
I added in the bootstrap/app.php
if (isset($_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'])) {
$hostArray = explode('.', $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST']);
//if the address is a subdomain and exist the .xxx.env file
$envFile = sprintf('.%s.env', $hostArray[0]);
if (count($hostArray) > 2 && file_exists(sprintf('%s/%s', $app['path.base'], $envFile))) {
$app->loadEnvironmentFrom($envFile);
}
}
after
$app = new Illuminate\Foundation\Application(
realpath(__DIR__.'/../')
);
I hope that helps someone
Greetings
I am having the same error as this guy is :
Another thread
basically the error i have is uploading the image to the specific path, my code is as follows :
public function postCreate() {
$validator = Validator::make(Input::all() , Product::$rules);
if ($validator->passes()) {
$product = new Product;
$product->category_id = Input::get('category_id');
$product->title = Input::get('title');
$product->description = Input::get('description');
$product->price = Input::get('price');
$image = Input::file('image');
$filename = date('Y-m-d-H:i:s')."-".$image->getClientOriginalName();
Image::make($image->getRealPath())->resize(468, 249)->save('public/img/products'.$filename);
$product->image = 'public/img/products'.$filename;
$product->save();
return Redirect::to('admin/products/index')
->with('message' , 'Product created');
}
return Redirect::to('admin/products/index')->with('message' , 'something went wrong')
->withErrors($validator)->withInput();
}
I was just trying to follow a tutorial on laravel e-commerce web application.
I guess the problem is that i don't have write permisson in my directory , how do i add write permission in my directory. I.E. the public folder, I googled a few places , but i don't understand what is it that i have to edit ?
I.E the htaccesss file or can i make write changes on the cmd ? also how do i check what weather a directory is write protected .
PS. i am using windows . i am attaching a screenshot of the error .
Thank you.
You might want to change the dateformat since windows doesn't allow colons in filenames:
$filename = date('Y-m-d-H:i:s')."-".$image->getClientOriginalName();
And you also might want to add a trailing slash to your path so it doesn't concatenate the filename to the folder path:
Image::make($image->getRealPath())->resize(468, 249)->save('public/img/products'.$filename);
Generally this error occurs when you do not yet have the directory that will store the image inside the public directory. Sometimes it can be a permission issue.
Does you img directory exists in your public directory?
To fix this, follow the steps:
Use this snippet:
$relPath = 'img/'; //your path inside public directory
if (!file_exists(public_path($relPath))) { //Verify if the directory exists
mkdir(public_path($relPath), 666, true); //create it if do not exists
}
Or manually create the img directory in public
2.Then you can save your image:
Image::make($image)->resize(468, 249)->save(public_path('img/products'.$filename)); //save you image
$product->image = 'img/products'.$filename; //note
$product->save();
**NOTE: We do not need to specify the public directory in the path because we are using a relative path. The img directory will be created inside public directory.
Along with this, you need to make sure the folder path exists and which has right permissions set.
$relPath = 'img/product/';
if (!file_exists(public_path($relPath))) {
mkdir(public_path($relPath), 777, true);
}
Where $relPath is the path relative to public directory.
This requirement is however windows specific. In linux, folder directory will be created if it does not exist.
I also recommend all of you to check if $path exists. Like Jose Seie use native PHP check, I recommend you to thought about build-in helpers.
This can be achieved with File Facade helper:
File::exists($imagePath) or File::makeDirectory($imagePath, 777, true);
Advice you to use Laravel built-in functions, classes & helpers to improve the performance of your application!
well , i made the correction that john suggested and then made the following corrections :
I replaced the below code :
Image::make($image->getRealPath())->resize(468, 249)->save('public/img/products'.$filename);
with :
$path = public_path('img/products/'.$filename);
Image::make($image->getRealPath())->resize(468, 249)->save($path);
problem solved , i don't know why public_path works , but never mind .
