I get files by their urls by this code
file_get_contents($_POST['url'];
Then I do something with them.
But I don't want to operate with big files, how do I limit size of received file?
It should throw an error if file is bigger than 500kb.
See my answer to this question. You need to have the cURL extension, with which you can make a HEAD HTTP request to the remote server. The response will let you know how big the file is, and you can then decide accordingly.
You are interested specifically in this line:
$size = curl_getinfo($ch, CURLINFO_CONTENT_LENGTH_DOWNLOAD);
Agree with #Jon
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_NOBODY, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url); //specify the url
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, TRUE);
$head = curl_exec($ch);
$size = curl_getinfo($ch,CURLINFO_CONTENT_LENGTH_DOWNLOAD);
if(<limit the $size>){
file_get_contents($url);
}

I'm Currently proxying an endpoint by running a cURL however the size of my cURL is about 10 times larger than the original API, Why is that, and how can I decrease the size? This is all JSON BTW.
Original API return size = 32.2kb
cURL return size = 488KB
And here is my cURL script:
$ch = curl_init();
// set url
$url = 'http://domain.com/api/v1';
// set options
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_IPRESOLVE, CURL_IPRESOLVE_V4 );
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_ENCODING, '');
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 5);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
// $output contains the output string
$output = curl_exec($ch);
// close curl resource to free up system resources
curl_close($ch);
return $output;
ob_start('ob_gzhandler');
php output buffer controll was the fix to my problem. Thanks all that tried to help!
I have images that are hosted on a CDN, and I want to upload that image to some other system via their API. Normally I would just use curl and put an # character in front of the file to upload. Since this is a URL, that won't work since it expects the file to be local. I don't want to copy it local first since the files could be videos and that could be time consuming.
It seems there should be a way to do this with PHP curl. I'm open to using sockets instead, but I'm not sure how to simulate how curl does the submission.
<?php
$save_file_url = file_get_contents($your_files_CDN_file_URL);
$fp = fopen('test','w');
fwrite($fp,$save_file_url);
$save_file = realpath('test') ;
$url = "http://URL_TO_SEND_FILE/get_file.php";
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_VERBOSE, 0);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERAGENT, "Mozilla/4.0 (compatible;)");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, true);
$post = array(
"file_is_this"=> "#".$save_file,
"app"=>'test'
);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $post);
$response = curl_exec($ch);
?>
And you will recieve file at get_file.php.
I need to download a large file and also need to get the headers in order to get the redirect location (status code 302).
I use this:
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FILE, $file);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, true);
Now the problem is the following:
It is writing the header data as well to the output file.
Is there a way to only write the content?
Edit:
Just to make it clear. All i want is to get the headers, but i want that only the body get's written to the file. Also please keep in mind that i can't store the body data into a variable since its a video data and therefore to big (memory_limit).
With the help of #Bishop i was able to get the working solution:
$url = 'example.com';
$file = fopen('body.txt', 'w');
$file_header = fopen('headers.txt', 'w')
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, false);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_WRITEHEADER, $file_header);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, false);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FILE, $file);
$data = curl_exec($ch);
Now i have the header in a seperate file and can get it from there by using:
file_get_contents('headers.txt');
i want to upload a file to scribd.com using curl,
please help me guys,
i am trying this code:
<?php
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_VERBOSE, 0);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERAGENT, "Mozilla/4.0 (compatible;)");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, _'http://www.scribd.com/upload/supload');
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, true);
// same as <input type="file" name="file_box">
$post = array(
$path=getcwd(); //absolute path
$post = array(
"file"=>"#".$path."/test.txt",
);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $post);
$response = curl_exec($ch);
?>
you've got at least one syntax error (_ in your curlopt_url line). Have you checked for curl errors after the exec() call?
$response = curl_exec($ch);
if ($response === false) {
die(curl_error($ch));
}
as well, your comment indicates the file field's name is "file_box", but you're using just "file" as your upload field. You must match what scribd is expecting. You can't just throw a file over their way and expect it to work. You're using curl to recreate what a browser would do, which means you have to duplicate all the fields/data that gets sent when a normal browser-based upload is performed.
I am trying to upload a file to imageshack using following script:
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, 'http://post.imageshack.us/');
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_VERBOSE, 0);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERAGENT, $_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT']);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, true);
$post = array(
'fileupload'=> '#../../resources/images/cancel.png',
'optsize' => 'resample',
'rembar' => '1'
);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $post);
$response = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);
echo $response;
However, I get following error from imageshack:
Wrong file type detected for file cancel.png:application/octet-stream.
Why is that, and how can it be fixed? Thanks in advance!
EDIT:
It does work when I use JPGs or GIFs (even animated ones, although Imageshack then de-animates them, I think by only using the first frame), but not with PNGs.
EDIT 2:
I found out how to fix it. As stated earlier, it does only accept JPGs and GIFs. So I take the location of the image I need to upload, copy it to a temporary location with the ending .jpg, upload the file, and then, upon completion, I remove the file from the temporary location.
Set the Content-type to the type of the file.
According to the manual, it must be an array or object. So here
$arr = array('Content-type: text/plain') ;
curl_setopt ( $ch , CURL_HTTPHEADER , $arr );
