How to translate to PHP the following CURL command?
curl -F file=@/home/user/picture.jpg
https://api.dominio.com/pictures
I tried in some ways but the ones I found were all sending with some key (eg myfile = > /home/user/picture.jpg) but in case it does not seem to have a key.
In PHP 5.6 and higher you have curl_file_create , you can use it.
curl -F file=@/home/user/picture.jpg https://api.dominio.com/pictures
This indicates exactly:
-F indicates that it is a multipart/form-data and therefore CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS must be passed array . " file " indicates the parameter name, or the "key" .
" /home/user/picture.jpg " indicates the file path, @ before it indicates that the path file ( and not sent /home/user/picture.jpg is to be read as text ).
Knowing this is enough to use the PHP CURL:
$ch = curl_init('https://api.dominio.com/pictures');
curl_setopt_array($ch, [
CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER => true,
CURLOPT_POST => true,
CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS => [
'file' => curl_file_create('/home/user/picture.jpg')
]
]);
$resposta = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);
If you are in old versions PHP is not all lost, you can use:
CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS => [
'file' => '@/home/user/picture.jpg'
]
