Well, here's my cURL script inside bash that works without any issues!
#!/bin/bash
fileid="1yvklOFopnep8twiqAQecmMUoAbQVzU0r"
filename="MyFile.mp4"
curl -c ./cookie -s -L "https://drive.google.com/uc?export=download&id=${fileid}" > /dev/null
curl -Lb ./cookie "https://drive.google.com/uc?export=download&confirm=`awk '/download/ {print $NF}' ./cookie`&id=${fileid}" -o ${filename}
However I'm trying to rewrite this into a simple PHP script, although it appears not to be working correctly; here's the code:
<?php
define('FILENAME', 'MyFile.mp4');
define('FILE_ID', '1yvklOFopnep8twiqAQecmMUoAbQVzU0r');
$GlobalFileHandle = null;
function get_confirm($id)
{
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, "https://drive.google.com/uc?export=download&id=".$id);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIEJAR, 'cookie.txt');
$result = curl_exec($ch);
if (curl_errno($ch)) {
echo 'Error:' . curl_error($ch);
}
curl_close($ch);
preg_match_all("/confirm=([0-9A-Za-z]+)&/", $result, $output_array);
return $output_array[1][0];
}
function get_file($id, $confirm)
{
global $GlobalFileHandle;
$GlobalFileHandle = fopen(FILENAME, 'w+');
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, 'https://drive.google.com/uc?export=download&confirm='.$confirm.'&id='.$id);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FILE, $GlobalFileHandle);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIEJAR, 'cookie.txt');
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_WRITEFUNCTION, 'curlWriteFile');
curl_exec($ch);
if (curl_errno($ch)) {
echo 'Error:' . curl_error($ch);
}
curl_close($ch);
fclose($GlobalFileHandle);
}
function curlWriteFile($cp, $data)
{
global $GlobalFileHandle;
return fwrite($GlobalFileHandle, $data);
}
$confirm_code = get_confirm(FILE_ID);
echo "We got our confirm code! ".$confirm_code;
get_file(FILE_ID, $confirm_code);
However it appears the file is not being downloaded & the MyFile.mp4 remains empty?

Answer 1

You seem to mix several options in an invalid way here.
Since you set CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER the data is returned by curl_exec().
So
$data = curl_exec($ch);
fwrite($GlobalFileHandle, $data);
should do the trick. If you want to use the callbacks, do not set CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER at all.
Another option is, to set CURLOPT_FILE to write the data directly to a file handle (don't set CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER either then):
curl_setopt(CURL_FILE, $GlobalFileHandle);
Furthermore, you need to set the CURLOPT_COOKIEFILE to your cookiejar to have the cookies read correctly. The CURLOPT_COOKIEJAR option only sets the file where to store cookies to. You need both, so add:
curl_setopt(CURL_COOKIEFILE, 'cookies.txt');
For more details, refer to the curl_setopt PHP manpage

Answer 2

Seems like a curl_exec is missing in function get_file.
