How do you Upload Image to parse.com usint REST API + PHP? - php

Question

Currently using this, but file that is stored is empty, so I supose no data is going through.
$post = array("file"=>'#'.$_FILES['uploadfile']['tmp_name']);
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER,array('X-Parse-Application-Id : XXXXXXXXXXXXXX','X-Parse-REST-API-Key: XXXXXXXXx', 'Content-type: image/jpeg'));
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, 'https://api.parse.com/1/files/'.$_FILES['uploadfile']['name']);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST,1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_BINARYTRANSFER, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, json_encode($post));
$result=curl_exec ($ch);
curl_close ($ch);
echo $result;

Answer 1

Got it working. You need to send the binary data as the post field. duh.
Before this you should probably create some restrictions (file size, type etc)
$post = file_get_contents($_FILES['uploadfile']['tmp_name']);
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER,array('X-Parse-Application-Id : XXXXXXXX','X-Parse-REST-API-Key: XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX', 'Content-type: image/jpeg'));
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, 'https://api.parse.com/1/files/'.$_FILES['uploadfile']['name']);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST,1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_BINARYTRANSFER, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $post);
$result=curl_exec ($ch);
curl_close ($ch);
echo $result;

Use this work perfectly same way as we need.....
function sendImageToParse($url, $filename) {
$this->layout = FALSE;
$this->autoRender = false;
$headers = array(
'X-Parse-Application-Id:' . $this->APPLICATION_ID,
'X-Parse-REST-API-Key:' . $this->REST_API_KEY,
'Content-Type: image/jpeg'
);
$data = file_get_contents($url);
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $data);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, $headers);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, 'https://api.parse.com/1/files/' . $filename);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_VERBOSE, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
$response = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);
return $response;
}
function add() {
if ($this->request->is('post')) {
$giftUniqueId = time();
$urlFileImage = $allData['Coupon']['imageLink'];
//Eg : "http://localhost/favrapp/img/couponsLogo/gap.jpg";
$filename = $allData['Coupon']['imageName']; //Eg : "gap.jpg";
$responseFile = $this->sendImageToParse($urlFileImage, $filename);
$arrayInt = json_decode($responseFile);
if (!empty($arrayInt)) {
$name = $arrayInt->name;
$url = $arrayInt->url;
} else {
$name = '';
$url = '';
}
//Save to table by creating object
$url = 'https://api.parse.com/1/classes/giftcard';
$data = array('name' => $allData['Coupon']['name'],
'couponType' => $allData['Coupon']['coupontype'],
'giftcardTypeid' => $allData['Coupon']['giftcardTypeid'], 'giftcardcheckid' => $giftUniqueId,
'logo' => array('name' => $name, '__type' => 'File', 'url' => $url),
);
$_data = json_encode($data);
$headers = array(
'X-Parse-Application-Id: ' . $this->APPLICATION_ID,
'X-Parse-REST-API-Key: ' . $this->REST_API_KEY,
'Content-Type: application/json',
'Content-Length: ' . strlen($_data),
);
$curl = curl_init($url);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $_data);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, $headers);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
curl_exec($curl);
curl_close($curl);
}
