What does it do?

This class manages file uploads for you. In short, it manages the uploaded file, and allows you to do whatever you want with the file, especially if it is an image, and as many times as you want.

It is the ideal class to quickly integrate file upload in your site. If the file is an image, you can convert, resize, crop it in many ways. You can also apply filters, add borders, text, watermarks, etc... That's all you need for a gallery script for instance. Supported formats are PNG, JPG, GIF, WEBP and BMP.

You can also use the class to work on local files, which is especially useful to use the image manipulation features. The class also supports Flash uploaders and XMLHttpRequest.

The class works with PHP 4, 5 and 7, and its error messages can be localized at will.

Install via composer

Edit your composer.json file to include the following:

    {
       "require": {
           "verot/class.upload.php": "dev-master"
       }
    }

Demo and examples

Check out the test/ directory, which you can load in your browser. You can test the class and its different ways to instantiate it, see some code examples, and run some tests.

How to use it?

Create a simple HTML file, with a form such as:

<form enctype="multipart/form-data" method="post" action="upload.php">
  <input type="file" size="32" name="image_field" value="">
  <input type="submit" name="Submit" value="upload">
</form>

Create a file called upload.php (into which you have first loaded the class):

$handle = new upload($_FILES['image_field']);
if ($handle->uploaded) {
  $handle->file_new_name_body   = 'image_resized';
  $handle->image_resize         = true;
  $handle->image_x              = 100;
  $handle->image_ratio_y        = true;
  $handle->process('/home/user/files/');
  if ($handle->processed) {
    echo 'image resized';
    $handle->clean();
  } else {
    echo 'error : ' . $handle->error;
  }
}

How does it work?

You instanciate the class with the $_FILES['my_field'] array where _my_field_ is the field name from your upload form. The class will check if the original file has been uploaded to its temporary location (alternatively, you can instanciate the class with a local filename).

You can then set a number of processing variables to act on the file. For instance, you can rename the file, and if it is an image, convert and resize it in many ways. You can also set what will the class do if the file already exists.

Then you call the function process() to actually perform the actions according to the processing parameters you set above. It will create new instances of the original file, so the original file remains the same between each process. The file will be manipulated, and copied to the given location. The processing variables will be reset once it is done.

You can repeat setting up a new set of processing variables, and calling process() again as many times as you want. When you have finished, you can call clean() to delete the original uploaded file.

If you don't set any processing parameters and call process() just after instanciating the class. The uploaded file will be simply copied to the given location without any alteration or checks.

Don't forget to add enctype="multipart/form-data" in your form tag <form> if you want your form to upload the file.

How to process local files?

Instantiate the class with the local filename, as following:

$handle = new upload('/home/user/myfile.jpg');

How to process a file uploaded via XMLHttpRequest?

Instantiate the class with the special _php:_ keyword, as following:

$handle = new upload('php:'.$_SERVER['HTTP_X_FILE_NAME']);

Prefixing the argument with _php:_ tells the class to retrieve the uploaded data in _php://input_, and the rest is the stream's filename, which is generally in $_SERVER['HTTP_X_FILE_NAME']. But you can use any other name you see fit:

$handle = new upload('php:mycustomname.ext');

How to process raw file data?

Instantiate the class with the special _data:_ keyword, as following:

$handle = new upload('data:'.$file_contents);

If your data is base64-encoded, the class provides a simple _base64:_ keyword, which will decode your data prior to using it:

$handle = new upload('base64:'.$base64_file_contents);

How to set the language?

Instantiate the class with a second argument being the language code:

$handle = new upload($_FILES['image_field'], 'fr_FR');
$handle = new upload('/home/user/myfile.jpg', 'fr_FR');

How to output the resulting file or picture directly to the browser?

Simply call process() without an argument (or with null as first argument):

$handle = new upload($_FILES['image_field']);
header('Content-type: ' . $handle->file_src_mime);
echo $handle->process();
die();

Or if you want to force the download of the file:

$handle = new upload($_FILES['image_field']);
header('Content-type: ' . $handle->file_src_mime);
header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=".rawurlencode($handle->file_src_name).";");
echo $handle->process();
die();

Troubleshooting

If the class doesn't do what you want it to do, you can display the log, in order to see in details what the class does. To obtain the log, just add this line at the end of your code:

echo $handle->log;

added `image_ratio_pixels` to resize an image to a number of pixels, keeping aspect ratio
added `image_is_palette` and `image_is_transparent` and `image_transparent_color` for GIF images
added `image_default_color` to define a fallback color for non alpha-transparent output formats, such as JPEG or BMP
changed `image_background_color`, which now forces transparent areas to be painted
improved reflections and color overlays so that it works with alpha transparent images
`image_reflection_color` is now deprecated in favour of `image_default_color`
transparent PNGs are now processed in true color, and fully preserving the alpha channel when doing merges
transparent GIFs are now automatically detected. `preserve_transparency` is deprecated
transparent true color images can be saved as GIF while retaining transparency, semi transparent areas being merged with `image_default_color`
transparent true color images can be saved as JPG/BMP with the semi transparent areas being merged with `image_default_color`
fixed conversion of images to true color
the class can now output the uploaded files content as the return value of `process()` if the function is called with an empty or null argument, or no argument

v 0.24 25/05/2007

added `image_background_color`, to set the default background color of an image
added possibility of using replacement tokens in text labels
changed default JPEG quality to 85
fixed a small bug when using greyscale filter and associated filters
added `image_ratio_fill` in order to fit an image within some dimensions and color the remaining space. Very similar to `image_ratio_crop`
improved the recursive creation of directories
the class now converts palette based images to true colors before doing graphic manipulations

v 0.23 23/12/2006

fixed a bug when processing more than once the same uploaded file. If there is an _open_basedir_ restriction, the class now creates a temporary file for the first call to `process()`. This file will be used for subsequent processes, and will be deleted upon calling `clean()`

v 0.22 16/12/2006

added automatic creation of a temporary file if the upload directory is not within open_basedir
fixed a bug which was preventing to work on a local file by overwriting it with its processed copy
added MIME types _video/x-ms-wmv_ and _image/x-png_ and fixed PNG support for IE weird MIME types
modified `image_ratio_crop` so it can accept one or more from string 'TBLR', determining which side of the image is kept while cropping
added support for multiple lines in the text, using "\n" as a line break
added `image_text_line_spacing` which allow to set the space between several lines of text
added `image_text_alignment` which allow to set the alignment when text has several lines
`image_text_font` can now be set to the path of a GDF font to load external fonts
added `image_reflection_height` to create a reflection of the source image, which height is in pixels or percentage
added `image_reflection_space` to set the space in pixels between the source image and the reflection
added `image_reflection_color` to set the reflection background color
added `image_reflection_opacity` to set the initial level of opacity of the reflection

v 0.21 30/09/2006

added `image_ratio_crop` which resizes within `image_x` and `image_y`, keeping ratio, but filling the space by cropping excedent of image
added `mime_check`, which default is true, to set checks against `allowed` MIME list
if MIME is empty, the class now triggers an error
color #000000 is OK for `image_text_color`, and related text transparency bug fixed
`gd_version()` now uses `gd_info()`, or else `phpinfo()`

fix when uploading files without extension
changed values for `image_brightness` and `image_contrast` to be between -127 and 127

class is now compatible i18n (thanks Sylwester).
the class can mow manipulate local files, not only uploaded files (instanciate the class with a local filename).
`file_safe_name` has been improved a bit.
added `image_brightness`, `image_contrast`, `image_tint_color`, `image_overlay_color` and `image_overlay_percent` to do color manipulation on the images.
added `image_text` and all derivated settings to add a text label on the image.
added `image_watermark` and all derivated settings to add a watermark image on the image.
added `image_flip` and `image_rotate` for more image manipulations
added `jpeg_size` to calculate the JPG compression quality in order to fit within one filesize.
