I am new in CI. I am trying to upload webp images using PHP CI Framework, Can anyone give me suggestion about how to upload .webp instead of jpg?

    What are you having trouble with? Is there something special about uploading .webp files? – brombeer Jul 14 '21 at 11:54
  • $config['allowed_types'] = '*'; //All Files// Using this I got the result but please let me know there is another way to upload webp file type. thanks in advance. – Maulik Nai Jul 14 '21 at 12:04
  • Ok, and _what_ doesn't work? Do you get any errors? .webp files not selectable? Using what code? – brombeer Jul 14 '21 at 12:05

.webp image uploading in CodeIgniter 3

  • Add webp MIME Type in config file: ./application/config/mimes.php. 'webp' => array('image/webp'),

  • And in your upload config "allowed_types" add "webp" : $config['allowed_types'] = 'gif|jpg|jpeg|png|webp';

  • .webp image resizing, cropping, water marking goto https://github.com/shackeelck/webp_ci_3

You can use file upload function like this in CI4:

function upload() {
    helper(['form', 'url']);

    $database = \Config\Database::connect();
    $db = $database->table('TABLE NAME');

    $input = $this->validate([
        'file' => [
            'uploaded[file]',
            'mime_in[file,image/jpg,image/jpeg,image/png,image/webp]',
            'max_size[file,1024]',
        ]
    ]);

    if (!$input) {
        print_r('Choose a valid file');
    } else {
        $img = $this->request->getFile('file');
        $img->move(WRITEPATH . 'uploads');

        $data = [
           'name' =>  $img->getName(),
           'type'  => $img->getClientMimeType()
        ];

        $save = $db->insert($data);
        print_r('File has successfully uploaded');
    }
}

  • Thanks for your code but I am using CI-3 so mime_type webp not available – Maulik Nai Jul 14 '21 at 12:09
  • I think you might want to give a look [Codeigniter 3 does not upload jpeg image](https://stackoverflow.com/a/58616391/10030431) – Mahmud Hasan Jion Jul 14 '21 at 12:16
  • @MahmudHasanJion You can't just put it there and say it's a valid image. `'mime_in[file,image/jpg,image/jpeg,image/png,image/webp]'` it doesn't work – starlings Sep 13 '22 at 20:10
