How to pass a CURL url in PHP [duplicate] - php

Question

I've never done any curl before so am in need of some help. I've tried to work this out from examples but cannot get my head around it!
I have a curl command that I can successfully run from a linux(ubuntu) command line that puts a file to a wiki through an api.
I would need to incorporate this curl command in a PHP script I'm building.
How can I translate this curl command so that it works in a PHP script?
curl -b cookie.txt -X PUT \
--data-binary "#test.png" \
-H "Content-Type: image/png" \
"http://hostname/#api/deki/pages/=TestPage/files/=test.png" \
-0
cookie.txt contains the authentication but I don't have a problem putting this in clear text in the script as this will be run by me only.
#test.png must be a variable such as $filename
http://hostname/#api/deki/pages/=TestPage/files/= must be a variable such as $pageurl
Thanks for any help.

Answer 1

a starting point:
<?php
$pageurl = "http://hostname/#api/deki/pages/=TestPage/files/=";
$filename = "test.png";
$theurl = $pageurl . $filename;
$ch = curl_init($theurl);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIE, ...); // -b
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST, 'PUT'); // -X
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_BINARYTRANSFER, TRUE); // --data-binary
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, ['Content-Type: image/png']); // -H
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTP_VERSION, CURL_HTTP_VERSION_1_0); // -0
...
?>

You need ...
curl-to-PHP : https://incarnate.github.io/curl-to-php/
"Instantly convert curl commands to PHP code"

Answer 3

Whicvhever cURL you have in command line, you can convert it to PHP with this tool:
https://incarnate.github.io/curl-to-php/
It helped me after long long hours of searching for a solution! Hope it will help you out too! Your solution is this:
// Generated by curl-to-PHP: http://incarnate.github.io/curl-to-php/
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, "http://hostname/#api/deki/pages/=TestPage/files/=test.png");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
$post = array(
"file" => "#" .realpath("test.png")
);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $post);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST, "PUT");
$headers = array();
$headers[] = "Content-Type: image/png";
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, $headers);
$result = curl_exec($ch);
if (curl_errno($ch)) {
echo 'Error:' . curl_error($ch);
}
curl_close ($ch);

Note that this only lists somewhat exact matches of --long options to similarly named CURLOPT_ constants. But it should give you enough hints on how to compare the curl --help output and the PHP curl_setopt() list.

Answer 5

Try this:
$cmd='curl -b cookie.txt -X PUT \
--data-binary "#test.png" \
-H "Content-Type: image/png" \
"http://hostname/#api/deki/pages/=TestPage/files/=test.png" \
-0';
exec($cmd,$result);

Answer 6

the --libcurl option was added for this purpose, even though it makes a C program I think it should be fairly easy to translate to PHP

Answer 7

Using MYYN's answer as a starting point, and this page as a reference on how to send POST data using PHP cURL, here is my suggestion (I am working on something very similar at the moment):
<?php
$pageurl = "http://hostname/#api/deki/pages/=TestPage/files/=";
$filename = "test.png";
$theurl = $pageurl.$filename;
$ch = curl_init($theurl);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIE, ...); // -b
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST, 'PUT'); // -X
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_BINARYTRANSFER, TRUE); // --data-binary
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, ['Content-Type: image/png']); // -H
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTP_VERSION, CURL_HTTP_VERSION_1_0); // -0
$post = array("$filename"=>"#$filename");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $post);
$response = curl_exec($ch);
?>
You can probably optimize the many curl_setopts with the use of a curl_setopt_array() call if you desire.

Answer 8

Better this. In one line.
$cmd='curl -b cookie.txt -X PUT --data-binary "#test.png" -H "Content-Type: image/png" "http://hostname/#api/deki/pages/=TestPage/files/=test.png" -0';
exec($cmd,$result);

Answer 9

Use curlconverter.com/php/, it will convert your curl command into
<?php
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, 'http://hostname/#api/deki/pages/=TestPage/files/=test.png');
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST, 'PUT');
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, [
'Content-Type' => 'image/png',
]);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, file_get_contents('test.png'));
$response = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);
