Laravel - get size from uploaded file

Question

I have saved a file with this command

$newFile = [             'event_id' => $event->id,             'path' => $storePath            ];  EventFile::create($newFile); 

I can get the path to the file for a link like this:

Storage::disk('public')->url($file->path); 

But there is no data about the file size. How can i get the file size in blade view???

Answer 1

Laravel 5^

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

Laravel 4

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

Answer 2

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); }
