I'm getting binary response from third party API via HTTP CLIENT
in Symfony
How to convert that response to a UplodedFile
Object.
Please suggest a good way to do this.
You can't use the UploadedFile
class, since that requires a file path and will throw an error (on move
) if you try to pass it a path to a file that wasn't uploaded via the $_FILES array.
Alternatively, you can use Symfony's File
class (UploadedFile
extends File
), but that also requires a file path. So you'll need to convert the response to a (temporary) file, for example using the class below.
Since this class extends File
, you can validate instances of it using the Symfony Validator and call move
on it, just as you would with an UploadedFile
.
use Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\File\File;
class TmpFile extends File {
private $handle;
public function __construct(string $contents)
{
$this->handle = tmpfile();
fwrite($this->handle, $contents);
parent::__construct(stream_get_meta_data($this->handle)['uri']);
}
}
And use it like this:
$tmpFile = new TmpFile((string) $response->getContent());
