Manipulating images using PHP, Imagick, and Spaces

Posted on August 6, 2021

Having trouble manipulating images with Imagick. My environment is Ubuntu 20.04, PHP 7.4, and mySQL 8.0.2.

I am retrieving user generated images from the spaces storage, then manipulating the images, then attempting to store them back to the spaces storage. The issue is, the images are not being stored in the spaces server after manipulation. The occupied memory (in Spaces storage)increases, but there are no manipulated images present. Why is this happening? How can I manipulate images and store them in spaces using PHP and Imagick.

   $s3_object = new S3Client([
        'version' => 'version',
        'region'  => 'region',
        'endpoint' => 'endpoint',
        'credentials' => [
            'key'    => 'KEY',
            'secret' => 'SECRET KEY',
        ],
     ]);
         $image_object =  new Imagick();
         $image_object->readImageBlob(base64_decode($imageData));
                                                                      $image_object->setImageCompression(Imagick::COMPRESSION_JPEG);
          $image_object->setImageCompressionQuality((int) $compressionQuality);
           
       $result = $client->putObject( array(
         
         'Bucket' => $bucket ,
         'Key' => $path . $imageNameFull,
         'Body' => $image_object->getimageblob(),
         'ACL' => 'public-read',
         'ContentType' => 'image/jpeg'
     ));
 ```

Heya,

An update on an old topic however I think it might be beneficial:

Your code seems to be correct for the most part. If the issue is not an error in your connection settings or credentials, there could be an issue with the image processing or upload process.

Here are a few potential issues and solutions:

  1. Image Processing Errors: If there’s an error during the image processing with Imagick, the upload might fail or you might end up uploading an empty or corrupt file. You should add some error handling after your image processing steps to catch any exceptions or errors.

  2. Content Type: You’ve hard-coded the content type to ‘image/jpeg’. This might cause problems if the original image is not in JPEG format. Consider dynamically setting the content type based on the actual format of the image.

  3. Check the returned result: Check the result of the putObject method to see if it’s returning any errors or useful information.

  4. Errors during upload: Add a try-catch block around your putObject method to catch any exceptions during the upload process.

Here’s how you can update your code with error handling:

try {
    $s3_object = new S3Client([
        'version' => 'version',
        'region'  => 'region',
        'endpoint' => 'endpoint',
        'credentials' => [
            'key'    => 'KEY',
            'secret' => 'SECRET KEY',
        ],
    ]);
    
    $image_object =  new Imagick();
    
    if ($image_object->readImageBlob(base64_decode($imageData))) {
        $image_object->setImageCompression(Imagick::COMPRESSION_JPEG);
        $image_object->setImageCompressionQuality((int) $compressionQuality);

        $result = $s3_object->putObject([
            'Bucket' => $bucket,
            'Key' => $path . $imageNameFull,
            'Body' => $image_object->getimageblob(),
            'ACL' => 'public-read',
            'ContentType' => 'image/jpeg',
        ]);

        // Check result for errors
        if ($result['@metadata']['statusCode'] != 200) {
            // Handle error
            echo "Error uploading file\n";
        }
    } else {
        echo "Error reading image blob\n";
    }
} catch (Exception $e) {
    echo $e->getMessage();
}

This will give you more detailed information on any errors that occur during the image processing or upload process. With this information, you can further troubleshoot the issue or ask a more specific question if you’re unable to find a solution.

Finally, remember to replace 'version', 'region', 'endpoint', 'KEY', and 'SECRET KEY' with your actual DigitalOcean Spaces settings.
