Dialog IBM - Curl - PHP Laravel - php

Question

Watson has the next code:
curl -u "{username}":"{password}"
-X POST
--form file=#template.xml
--form name=templateName
"https://gateway.watsonplatform.net/dialog/api/v1/dialogs"
And I have:
$ch = curl_init();
$data['name'] = $this->post['name'].";type:form";
$data['file'] = $this->getCurlValue($this->post['file'], $this->post['nombre']);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $this->url.$this->metodo);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, false);
curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERPWD, "{$this->user}:{$this->pass}");
if(count($this->post) > 0){
//curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_PUT, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST, 'PUT');
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $data);
}
$output = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);
json_decode($output);
$this->post has...
$data = Request::only('name', 'file');
And I only get as answer: {}
What I'm missing?
Thanks everyone!... First time try to send a uploading file with curl :c

Answer 1

It was simpler than I imagined.
Store:
$data = Request::only('name', 'file');
$nombre = time().".".Request::file('file')->getClientOriginalExtension();
Request::file('file')->move(base_path() . '/public/dialogos/', $nombre);
$data['path'] = base_path() . '/public/dialogos/'.$nombre;
$data['file'] = $_FILES['file'];
Curl:
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $this->url.$this->metodo);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERPWD, "{$this->user}:{$this->pass}");
if(count($this->post) > 0){
$datos['name'] = $this->post['name'];
$datos['file'] = $this->getCurlValue($this->post['file'], $this->post['path']);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $datos);
}
$output = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);
return json_decode($output);
getCurlValue($file, $path);
if (function_exists('curl_file_create')) {
return curl_file_create($path, $file['type'], $file['name']);
}
$value = "#{$path};filename=" . $file['name'];
$value .= ';type=' . $file['type'];
return $value;
Stupid msg that said I need PUT or DELETE methods... haha
