Slim\Http\UploadedFile - no way to retrieve client-provided full path to the file

[yurevichcv]

Previously it was at least possible to use public variable $this->file.

Now there is not way to retrieve full path at all.

[yurevichcv]

If $this->file was removed from public access, you should add some getter, I guess.

[akrabat]

oh, good catch!

[akrabat]

I'm not sure that this property should be public in the next version though. What's the use-case for needing it?

[yurevichcv]

My particular example is importing CSV file using http://csv.thephpleague.com/examples/ library (one of the most popular libraries for working with files).

I want to import CSV data without uploading file to S3 (I'm using stateless container-based architecture) using following code:

<?php

use League\Csv\Reader;

$csv = Reader::createFromPath($uploadedFile->getClientFileTmpName());

Where path should be tmp_path from UploadedFile object (which is not available now).

[yurevichcv]

Previously I used it this way:

<?php

use League\Csv\Reader;

$csv = Reader::createFromPath($uploadedFile->file);

Fixed and 3.2.2 is now released.

I'm sorry for the inconvenience that this caused you.

[yurevichcv]

Maybe it makes sense to create getter for this field, and make usage of public property deprecated?

[akrabat]

Probably. We need to look at it, but I didn't want to slow down the release of 3.2.2.

It is possible to get the temp path with $uploadedFile->getStream()->getMetadata('uri'), but this is rather verbose. A simple getter would be nice.

Just for the record, in Slim v4 you can use $uploadedFile->getFilePath() to get the (temp) location of an uploaded file.

@zoolyka Slim 4 doesn't ship with a PSR-7 implementation so that wouldn't be a valid statement. Whichever PSR-7 implementation you have installed would provide that method.

[zoolyka]

@l0gicgate correct, thanks. I referred to the "default" slim/psr7 implementation.
