To upload a file in Symfony, you will need to follow these steps:
- Create an HTML form that allows the user to select a file to upload. The form should have a method of "POST" and an enctype of "multipart/form-data":
1
2
3
4
|
<form method="POST" enctype="multipart/form-data">
<input type="file" name="file">
<button type="submit">Upload</button>
</form>
|
- In your Symfony controller, you will need to handle the request made by the form submission. You can do this by creating a route and a corresponding controller action:
1
2
3
4
5
6
7
|
/**
* @Route("/upload", name="upload")
*/
public function upload(Request $request)
{
// handle the file upload
}
|
- In the controller action, you can retrieve the uploaded file from the request using the get('file') method:
1
|
$file = $request->files->get('file');
|
- You can then use the move() method of the File object to move the uploaded file to a desired location:
1
|
$file->move($destination, $newFilename);
|
This will move the uploaded file to the specified destination with the new file name.
- Finally, you can persist the uploaded file's information (such as the file name, MIME type, etc.) to the database if needed.
I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any questions.
