I am trying to post image content as a parameter of the multiform request. The following code works.
$read_image = base64_encode(file_get_contents('Large.jpg'));
$client = new Client(['debug' => true ,'handler' => $stack,]);
$request = $client->Request(
'POST',
'https://mylandoapp.lndo.site/testdrive/post',
[
'multipart' =>
[
[
'name' => 'image',
'contents' => $read_image,
],
],
]
);
I am able to get the value using following code.
$data =$request->request->all();
$my_image = $data[$image];
When I try to add the file name, the image content is an empty array.
$request = $client->Request(
'POST',
'https://mylandoapp.lndo.site/testdrive/post',
[
'multipart' =>
[
[
'name' => 'image',
'contents' => $read_image,
'filename' => 'custom_filename.txt',
],
],
]);
How can I pass file name a well as file content using multiform post request?
Could be trivial, but first check that is actually a Guzzle issue and not a php memory limit issue. Base64 encoding a "Large.jpg" will triple the string length of $read_image. Check the php error log to see if your not running out of buffer length. I would try with a smaller JPEG first.

I have the following Postman request for testing a third party API;
What I am trying to do is convert this into code using Laravel's HTTP class, the code i currently have is;
public function uploadToThridParty()
{
$uploadContents = [
'id' => 'this-is-my-id',
'fileUpload' => true,
'frontfile' => Storage::get('somefrontfile.jpg'),
'sideview' => Storage::get('itsasideview.png'),
];
$request = Http::withHeaders(
[
'Accept' => 'application/json',
]
);
$response = $request
->asForm()
->post(
'https://urltoupload.com/upload', $uploadContents
)
}
But every time I run this, the 3rd party API comes back with Invalid ID, even though if i use Postman with the same ID it works fine.
I cant seem to figure out where i am going wrong with my code;
As #Cbroe mention about attach file before sending post request you can make this like this example:
public function uploadToThridParty()
{
$uploadContents = [
'id' => 'this-is-my-id',
'fileUpload' => true
];
$request = Http::withHeaders(
[
'Accept' => 'application/json',
]
);
$response = $request
->attach(
'frontfile', file_get_contents(storage_path('somefrontfile.jpg')), 'somefrontfile.jpg'
)
->attach(
'sideview', file_get_contents(storage_path('itsasideview.png')), 'itsasideview.jpg'
)
->post(
'https://urltoupload.com/upload', $uploadContents
)
}
Also i think you need remove asForm method because it's override your header accept type to application/x-www-form-urlencoded that is way your exception is Invalid ID
Some third party API would require you to have the request with content type as multipart/form data
you can double check all the headers being pass on your postman request HEADERS tab and view on Hidden headers.
If you indeed need your request to be in multipart/form-data, You can use the multipart options of guzzle.
Although this doesnt seem to be on Laravel HTTP-Client docs, you can simply pass a asMultipart() method in your HTTP request
just check the /vendor/laravel/framework/src/Illuminate/Support/Facades/Http.php for full reference of HTTP client.
You can have your request like this.
public function uploadToThridParty() {
$uploadContents = [
[
'name' => 'id',
'contents' => 'this-is-my-id'
],
[
'name' => 'fileUpload',
'contents' => true
],
[
'name' => 'frontfile',
'contents' => fopen( Storage::path( 'somefrontfile.jpg' ), 'r')
],
[
'name' => 'sideview',
'contents' => fopen( Storage::path( 'itsasideview.jpg' ), 'r')
],
];
$request = Http::withHeaders(['Accept' => 'application/json']);
$response = $request->asMultipart()->post('https://urltoupload.com/upload', $uploadContents );
}
Does anybody know the correct way to PUT using Guzzle? my code is not working
but my post methods are working
$enrolment = $client->request('PUT', $url,[
'form_params' => [
'contactID' =>12345,
'type' =>'w'
],
'headers' => [
'apitoken' => $api_token,
'wstoken' => $ws_token
]
]);
resulted in a 500 Internal Server Error response:↵{"DATA":"","ERROR":true,"MESSAGES":"key [TYPE] doesn't exist","CODE":"0","DETAILS":""}
The PUT request does't accept form_params type as request option, so it may ignore the setting.
From Docs:
form_params
Used to send an application/x-www-form-urlencoded
POST request.
Maybe you can try using json for PUT request.
In the json part of Docs, it uses PUT as well.
$enrolment = $client->request('PUT', $url,[
'json' => [
'contactID' =>12345,
'type' =>'w'
],
'headers' => [
'apitoken' => $api_token,
'wstoken' => $ws_token
]
]);
I am uploading a file to my API built on laravel. In my code below, the data is sent to the API. But how can i get the file that was uploaded to the API ?
Controller
$file = $request->file('imported-file');
$name = $file->getClientOriginalName();
$path ='/Users/desktop/Folder/laravelapp/public/Voice/';
$client = new \GuzzleHttp\Client();
$fileinfo = array(
'message' => 'Testing content',
'recipient' => "102425",
);
$res = $client->request('POST', $url, [
'multipart' => [
[
'name' => 'FileContents',
'contents' => file_get_contents($path . $name),
'filename' => $name
],
[
'name' => 'FileInfo',
'contents' => json_encode($fileinfo)
]
],
]);
API Controller
if (!empty('FileInfo')) {
return response()->json([
'status' => 'error',
'file_content' => $request->file('FileContents'),
'media'=>$request->hasFile('FileContents'),
]);
}
This is the response, i get "file":null,"file_content":{},"media":true
Why is the file content empty when media is showing true meaning there is a file ?
There can be multiple reasons :
Check your content type. Sometimes we forget to specify multipart/form-data and the request is sent with generic application/x-form-urlencoded etc.
Secondly if you are using jQuery, then set :
contentType: false,
processData: false,
cache: false
This will help your form request no getting converted to string payload and not forcing ajax to set content type. try using FormData.
Update : Found similar answer in this post has detailed answer for this.
I am now using Guzzle to send multiple files uploaded by users to another server.
From my understanding, we can send files using Guzzle by using this code:
'multipart' => [
[
'name' => 'FileContents',
'contents' => file_get_contents($path . $name),
'filename' => $name
],
[
'name' => 'FileInfo',
'contents' => json_encode($fileinfo)
]
],
However, as the number of the files uploaded may not be the same and the code above can be used to send only one file. How can I send the unknown number of files using Guzzle? Thank you very much!
It depends on the server you sending request to. Is it able to handle an array inside FileContents and FileInfo? Or something like FileContents_1, FileContents_2, FileContents_N? It depends on your server.
Anyway in Guzzle you can easily fill the array with a loop:
$multipart => []
foreach ($files as $file) {
$multipart[] = [
'name' => 'FileContents[]',
'contents' => fopen($path . $name, 'r'),
'filename' => $name
];
$multipart[] = [
'name' => 'FileInfo[]',
'contents' => json_encode($fileinfo)
]
}
P.S.
Also it's better to use fopen() instead of file_get_contents(), because you don't need to read the files in your script, only to pass them to Guzzle.
I'm trying to delete files from my CloudFlare cache using PHP. Using Guzzle I've done this:
$client = new \GuzzleHttp\Client;
$response = $client->delete('https://api.cloudflare.com/client/v4/zones/myzoneid/purge_cache', [
'query' => [
'files' => 'https://example.com/styles.css,
],
'headers' => [
'X-Auth-Email' => 'myemail',
'X-Auth-Key' => 'myapikey',
],
]);
But when I run this I get an error:
Client error: DELETE https://api.cloudflare.com/client/v4/zones/myzoneid/purge_cache?files=https%3A%2F%2Fexample.com/etc resulted in a 400 Bad Request response: {"success":false,"errors":[{"code":1012,"message":"Request must contain one of \"purge_everything\", \"files\", \"tags\" (truncated...)
I can't get it to work using Postman either. I put in the required headers and try to set a key of files or files[] with the URL but it doesn't work. I've also tried data with raw JSON as the value like {"files":["url"]} (along with a JSON content-type header) but get the same error. It thinks I'm not sending the files key.
The method for purge_cache is POST instead of DELETE (Source: https://api.cloudflare.com/#zone-purge-files-by-url).
The payload is not sent as 'query', but as 'json'.
Files should be an array, not a string.
So the correct syntax should be....
$client = new \GuzzleHttp\Client;
$response = $client->post('https://api.cloudflare.com/client/v4/zones/myzoneid/purge_cache', [
'json' => [
'files' => ['https://example.com/styles.css'],
],
'headers' => [
'X-Auth-Email' => 'myemail',
'X-Auth-Key' => 'myapikey',
],
]);
