Is there a way to upload a file from a client side to the server using REST using PHP,
I am trying to use the below code, and it is not working from me.
<?php
$file_to_upload = array('file_contents'=>'@c:\\test.txt');
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, 'http://localhost/api/upload.php');
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, FALSE);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSER, TRUE);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_UPLOAD, TRUE);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST,TRUE);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $file_to_upload);
curl_exec($ch) or die( curl_error($ch) );
$error = curl_error($ch);
curl_close ($ch);
echo " Server response: ".$result;
echo " Curl Error: ".$error;
?>
and my upload.php
$uploaddir = realpath('./') . '/';
$uploadfile = $uploaddir . basename($_POST['file']['name']);
echo $uploadfile;
echo "\n";
echo '<pre>';
echo $_POST['file']['tmp_name'];
if (move_uploaded_file($_POST['file']['tmp_name'], $uploadfile)) {
echo "File is valid, and was successfully uploaded.\n";
} else {
echo "Possible file upload attack!\n";
}
echo 'Here is some more debugging info:';
print_r($_FILES);
echo "\n<hr />\n";
print_r($_POST);
print "</pr" . "e>\n";
?>
Try this.
index.php
<?php
echo "<pre>";
print_r($_FILES);
error_reporting(9);
if($_REQUEST['action'] == 'submit') {
$ch = curl_init();
$filePath = $_FILES['file_upl']['tmp_name'];
$fileName = $_FILES['file_upl']['name'];
$data = array('name' => 'Foo', 'file' => "@$filePath", 'fileName' =>$fileName);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, 'http://www.restServiceHost.com/file3/upload.php');
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $data);
curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);
}
?>
<form name="file_up" action="" method="POST" enctype="multipart/form-data">
Upload your file here
<input type="file" name="file_upl" id="file_upl"/>
<input type="submit" name="action" value="submit"/>
</form>
and upload.php in http://www.restServiceHost.com/file3
<?php
echo "<pre>";
echo 'in upload.php<br/>';
print_r($_FILES);
print_r($_REQUEST);
move_uploaded_file($_FILES["file"]["tmp_name"], "upload/" . $_REQUEST["fileName"]);
?>
I think you should be looking for $_FILES['file_contents']
and not
$_POST['file']

php5.5+
$filePath = $_FILES['file_upl']['tmp_name'];
$type=$_FILES['file_upl']['type'];
$fileName = $_FILES['file_upl']['name'];
$data = array('file_upl' => curl_file_create($filePath, $type, $fileName));
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, 'http://localhost/api/upload.php');
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER,array('Content-Type: multipart/form-data'));
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $data);
$response = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);
