Laravel API temp image via url

I'm working on a Laravel API project, let see when you upload a image I change the colors, with a shell script. The api accepts urls so that means I have to save the image in a temp folder so that I can edit it and save it to my S3 filesystem. Is it convenient that I save the temp image in the S3 filesystems or local?

Solution

  • It will likely be much faster to save the image locally in a temp directory to make the changes before storing it on S3. You can use sys_get_temp_dir() to get a path used for temporary files.
