Question

I have saved a file with this command

            \'event_id\' => $event->id,
            \'path\' => $storePath
           ];

EventFi         


        

Answer 1

Laravel 5

$request->file('file')->getSize();

Laravel 4

$request->file('file')->getClientSize(); // getClientSize() is deprecated in Laravel 5

Answer 2

getClientSize() is deprecated starting version 4.1. Use getSize() instead.

Answer 3

The more Simpler way is to use Storage Facade if you have already stored / uploaded file

use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Storage;

public function get_size($file_path)
{
    return Storage::size($file_path);
}

Or if you are using S3 Bucket then you can modify the above function like below

use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Storage;

public function get_size($file_path)
{
    return Storage::disk('s3')->size($file_path);
}

Check Laravel File Storage

Answer 4

Very simple(Proper Laravel Way):

//add this at the top of your controller
use File;

// add this with in your function
$size = File::size($PATH_OF_FILE);
