Yii2 FileUpload – PHP library for uploading files to your server or Amazon S3. It makes easy for developers to handle with yii2 UploadedFile instances. It's also possible to upload files via URLs from external sources.

Getting Started ¶

The preferred way to install this extension is through composer.

Note: Check the composer.json for this extension's requirements and dependencies. Read this web tip /wiki on setting the minimum-stability settings for your application's composer.json.

Quick Examples ¶

Upload a file to your local server ¶

$photo = UploadedFile::getInstance($model, 'photo'); 
$uploader = new FileUpload(FileUpload::S_LOCAL);

Upload a file to Amazon S3 ¶

This code uploads a file to Amazon S3. You must provide an associative array as second argument in FileUpload constructor in following way:

$photo = UploadedFile::getInstance($model, 'photo'); 
$uploader = new FileUpload(FileUpload::S_S3, [
    'version' => 'latest',
    'region' => '<regiongoeshere>',
    'credentials' => [
        'key' => '<keygoeshere>',
        'secret' => '<secretgoeshere>'
    ],
    'bucket' => '<bucketgoeshere>'
]);
