Files

HTTP Files are encapsulated in 3 classes in Centum:

Centum\Http\Files implements Centum\Interfaces\Http\FilesInterface.

Centum\Http\FileGroup implements Centum\Interfaces\Http\FileGroupInterface.

Centum\Http\File implements Centum\Interfaces\Http\FileGroupInte.

In an effort to simplify file uploads, both from the complexity of HTML file inputs in forms and the complexity of the $_FILES superglobal, a FileGroup represents all files that share the name property. In this HTML form, three name properties exist - images, documents, audio:

<form method="POST" enctype="multipart/form-data">
    <input type="file" name="images" multiple>

    <input type="file" name="documents[]">
    <input type="file" name="documents[]">

    <input type="file" name="audio">

    <input type="submit" value="Upload">
</form>

Regardless of how files are uploaded and how many are uploaded, they all operate the same way in PHP:

use Centum\Http\FileGroup;
use Centum\Http\File;
use Centum\Http\Files;

/** @var Files $files */

/** @var FileGroup $imagesFileGroup */
$imagesFileGroup = $files->get("images");

foreach ($imagesFileGroup->all() as $image) {
    /** @var File $image */
}

/** @var FileGroup $documentsFileGroup */
$documentsFileGroup = $files->get("document");

foreach ($documentsFileGroup->all() as $document) {
    /** @var File $document */
}

/** @var FileGroup $audioFileGroup */
$audioFileGroup = $files->get("audio");

foreach ($audioFileGroup->all() as $audio) {
    /** @var File $audio */
}

`Centum\Http\File`

A File object represents an individual file that has been uploaded:

Centum\Http\File(
    ?string $name,
    ?string $type,
    int $size,
    ?string $location,
    int $error
);

$location represents the file location on the server.
$error shares the same codes as regular file upload errors.

Files Factory

You can obtain a Files object made with global variables using the FilesFactory:

use Centum\Http\FilesFactory;

$filesFactory = new FilesFactory();

$files = $filesFactory->createFromGlobals();

File Factory

You can obtain a File object from a real file using the FileFactory:

use Centum\Http\FileFactory;

$fileFactory = new FileFactory();

$file = $fileFactory->createFromRealFile("/path/to/a/file.txt");
