I am using the OCR Service of i2ocr.com to convert an image to text..
In my project, I need to do this work automatically so I am using PHP to get the text of the image.
In the OCR website the postdata is contained in the form of multipart/form-data
Like this:
-----------------------------32642708628732\r\n
Content-Disposition: form-data; name="i2ocr_options"\r\n
\r\n
url\r\n
-----------------------------32642708628732\r\n
Content-Disposition: form-data; name="i2ocr_uploadedfile"\r\n
\r\n
\r\n
-----------------------------32642708629732\r\n
Content-Disposition: form-data; name="i2ocr_url"\r\n
\r\n

-----------------------------32642708628732\r\n
Content-Disposition: form-data; name="i2ocr_languages"\r\n
\r\n
gb,eng\r\n
-----------------------------32642708628732--\r\n
In PHP I am using
$ch = curl_init();
$dt = array();
$dt['i2ocr_options'] = 'url';
$dt['i2ocr_uploadedfile'] = '';
$dt['i2ocr_url'] = 'http://www.murraydata.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/ocr-font-500x220.jpg';
$dt['i2ocr_languages'] = 'gb,eng';
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL,"http://www.i2ocr.com/process_form");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERAGENT, "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; rv:23.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/23.0");
curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_ENCODING,"gzip,deflate");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, Array("Content-Type: multipart/form-data; boundary=---------------------------32642708628732"));
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIEJAR, $cookie);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_REFERER, "http://www.i2ocr.com/");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_AUTOREFERER, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, "$dt");
$html=curl_exec($ch);
print_r($html);
This code does not generate any errors, but I do not get any output either.
I need help getting the output from this curl request.
