Webdav API for NextCloud with Guzzle - php

Question

I am trying to upload a string (html) to my NextCloud over the Webdav API (documentation). I have used multipart file upload, because I read that it is the normal way to achieve file uploads to the API. When I upload a file it properly creates it and I the upload goes through, but it always adds this to the file:
----------------------------371289179749834008757921
Content-Disposition: form-data; name="data"
Hello world
----------------------------371289179749834008757921--
I just want the "Hello world" part to be put into the file. This is the code I use to upload the string as a file:
function sendToNextCloud(string $fileName, string $content)
{
$client = new Client();
$headers = [
'Authorization' => 'Basic Password',
];
$options = [
'multipart' => [
[
'name' => 'file',
'contents' => $content,
'filename' => $fileName,
'headers' => [
'Content-Type' => 'multipart/form-data'
]
]
]];
$request = new \GuzzleHttp\Psr7\Request('PUT', 'nextcloud:8080/remote.php/webdav/' . $fileName, $headers);
dump($request, $options);
$res = $client->sendAsync($request, $options)->wait();
dump($res->getBody()->getContents());
if ($res->getStatusCode() == 201) {
dump('Successfully sent');
}
return "test";
}
Do I need to alter the content type in the multipart headers, set a different option or use a different way of uploading?
Thank you for your help.

Answer 1

I found the solution to my problem:
use GuzzleHttp\Client;
$client = new Client();
$url = "https://webdav.example.com/file.txt";
$headers = [
'Content-Type' => 'text/plain',
'Authorization' => 'Basic ' . base64_encode('username:password')
];
$contents = "This is the contents of the file";
$response = $client->put($url, [
'headers' => $headers,
'body' => $contents
]);
if ($response->getStatusCode() == 201) {
echo "File uploaded successfully";
} else {
echo "Failed to upload file";
}
This creates a file from a simple string without using multipart and just a simple PUT method.
