Requirements

You must have ClamAV anti-virus scanner running on the server to make this package work.

You can see the ClamAV installation instructions on the official ClamAV documentation.

For example on an Ubuntu machine, you can do:

# Install clamav virus scanner
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install clamav-daemon

# Update virus definitions
sudo freshclam

# Start the scanner service
sudo service clamav-daemon start

This package is not tested on windows, but if you have ClamAV running (usually on port 3310) it should work.

Installation

Install the package through Composer.

Run composer require digitalideastudio/clamav-validator

Add the following to your providers array in config/app.php:

'providers' => array(
	// ...

	Sunspikes\ClamavValidator\ClamavValidatorServiceProvider::class,
),

Usage

Use it like any Validator rule:

$rules = array(
	'my_file_field' => 'clamav',
);
