Planning

OK let's get this show on the road. The objective is to create a PHP component to receive, validate, and distribute file uploads. I imagine most file uploads will arrive via multipart/form-data POST requests from traditional HTML forms. However, it would be nice to support receiving files from any inbound stream.

Features

• Simple user interface for manipulating file uploads
• Validate file uploads (e.g., file size, mimetype, and so on)
• Integrate with FlySystem for sending uploaded files to final destinations

Questions

• Should we limit this to only files uploaded via HTTP POST? Or to any inbound stream?
• If we use any inbound stream, how do we prevent malicious actors? See is_uploaded_file().
• How will we handle image data vs. text data?
• How will we wrap/abstract the global $_FORMS data structure?
