flow.js php server

PHP library for handling chunk uploads. Library contains helper methods for: * Testing if uploaded file chunk exists. * Validating file chunk * Creating separate chunks folder * Validating uploaded chunks * Merging all chunks to a single file

This library is compatible with HTML5 file upload library: https://github.com/flowjs/flow.js

How to get started?

Setup Composer: https://getcomposer.org/doc/00-intro.md

Run this command in your project:

composer require flowjs/flow-php-server

Create a new php file named

upload.php

$config = new \Flow\Config(); $config->setTempDir('./chunkstempfolder'); $request = new \Flow\Request(); $uploadFolder = './finalfiledestination/'; // Folder where the file will be stored $uploadFileName = uniqid()."_".$request->getFileName(); // The name the file will have on the server $uploadPath = $uploadFolder.$uploadFileName; if (\Flow\Basic::save($uploadPath, $config, $request)) { // file saved successfully and can be accessed at $uploadPath } else { // This is not a final chunk or request is invalid, continue to upload. } ```

Make sure that

./chunks_temp_folder

If you are stuck with this example, please read this issue: How to use the flow-php-server

Advanced Usage

$config = new \Flow\Config();
$config->setTempDir('./chunks_temp_folder');
$file = new \Flow\File($config);

if ($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] === 'GET') {
    if ($file->checkChunk()) {
        header("HTTP/1.1 200 Ok");
    } else {
        header("HTTP/1.1 204 No Content");
        return ;
    }
} else {
  if ($file->validateChunk()) {
      $file->saveChunk();
  } else {
      // error, invalid chunk upload request, retry
      header("HTTP/1.1 400 Bad Request");
      return ;
  }
}
if ($file->validateFile() && $file->save('./final_file_name')) {
    // File upload was completed
} else {
    // This is not a final chunk, continue to upload
}

Delete unfinished files

For this you should setup cron, which would check each chunk upload time. If chunk is uploaded long time ago, then chunk should be deleted.

Helper method for checking this:

php
\Flow\Uploader::pruneChunks('./chunks_folder');

Cron task can be avoided by using random function execution.

php
if (1 == mt_rand(1, 100)) {
    \Flow\Uploader::pruneChunks('./chunks_folder');
}
