so im trying to make sure that if i upload an imagefile (a profile update for my user) that i'm fetching the filepath but i get an Undefined variable:imagePath error.
so i tried to dd my imagepath but it came out with noting while i do define it.
i want to put the filepath here
$data = request()->validate([
'title' => 'required',
'description' => 'required',
'url' => 'url',
'image' => '', //filepath here
]);
here i define it.
if(request('image'))
{
$imagePath = request('image')->store('profile', 'public'); //here i define the variable
$image = Image::make(public_path("storage/{$imagePath}"))->fit(1000, 1000); // here i try to use it
$image->save();
}
dd(array_merge(
$data,
['image' => $imagePath] //the error occurs here while trying to merge
));
so i expected this array merge to give me a readable path but i get an error instead. i might've made a spelling mistake somewehre as english is not my first language but i read over my code and it all looks to be okay.
remove the {}
$image = Image::make(public_path("storage/$imagePath"))->fit(1000, 1000);
or concatenate separately
$image = Image::make(public_path('storage/'.$imagePath))->fit(1000, 1000);
Let's say $imagePath = 'randomString', the code will try to get the variable named randomString if you use it like this {$imagePath}.
We use this trick to call dynamic variables.
$textVariable = 'this text';
$text2 = 'textVariable';
echo ${$text2}; // will echo "this text"
try this
if($request->image)
{
$imagePath = $request->image->store('profile', 'public'); //here i define the variable
$image = Image::make(public_path("storage/".$imagePath))->fit(1000, 1000); // here i try to use it
$image->save();
}
dd(array_merge(
$data,
['image' => $imagePath] //the error occurs here while trying to merge
));
I just change your request('image') to $request->image and remove the {} here $image = Image::make(public_path("storage/".$imagePath))->fit(1000, 1000);
I assume that you're in controller and you have Request $request
Hope it helps.

I have developed a facebook application that contains following files
1) index.php
2) cap3.php
where cap3.php generates an image using GD in PHP.
index.php displays this image using following code
<img src="cap3.php">
now I want this generated image to be posted on user's timeline.
I have tried to do so by using following code:
$facebook->setFileUploadSupport(true);
$img = 'cap3.php';
$args=array( 'source' => '#' .$current , 'message' => 'Photo uploaded via!' );
$photo = $facebook->api('/me/photos', 'POST', $args);
but the image is not posted on user's timeline
please help.
One way to do that is to put your cap3.php file in your remote host to get an URL to it. For example : http://www.example.com/cap3.php. Then, you download that image from your app and send it to facebook.
Let's see an example:
$local_img = 'cap3.png'; // I assume your cap3.php generates a PNG file
$remote_img = 'http://www.example.com/cap3.php';
// sample: check for errors in your production app!
$img_content = file_get_contents($remote_img);
file_put_contents($locale_img, $img_content);
$facebook->setFileUploadSupport(true);
$args=array( 'source' => '#' .$locale_img , 'message' => 'Photo uploaded via!' );
$photo = $facebook->api('/me/photos', 'POST', $args);
i want to upload image to facebook album using facebook api, i search alot about it if find out that the file used is from the pc..
i want to upload image to facebook album and the image path i want to get from a website ?
$File_path='http://example.com/sample.jpg';
$args = array('message' => 'Photo Caption');
$args['image'] = '#' . realpath($FILE_PATH);
$data = $facebook->api('/'. $ALBUM_ID . '/photos', 'post', $args);
print_r($data);
is that possible to give a file path like i mention above?
You have couple of severe mistakes in your code:
$File_path isn't the same as $FILE_PATH - remember variables are case sensitive!
realpath accepts path not URL and will return false in your case
You can only upload local files using image parameter, and for remote images url parameter should be used.
Consider using one of the next samples to achieve the desired result, for local file:
$facebook->api("/{$ALBUM_ID}/photos", "post", array(
'message' => 'Photo caption',
'image' => '#'.realpath('./path/to/local/image/file.jpg')
));
And for remote file:
$facebook->api("/{$ALBUM_ID}/photos", "post", array(
'message' => 'Photo caption',
'url' => 'http://example.com/url/of/image/file.jpg'
));
Anyone knows how to create new post with photo attached in WordPress using XMLRPC?
I am able to create new post and upload new picture separately, but looks like there is no way to attach the uploaded photo to the created post?
Below is the codes I'm currently using.
<?php
DEFINE('WP_XMLRPC_URL', 'http://www.blog.com/xmlrpc.php');
DEFINE('WP_USERNAME', 'username');
DEFINE('WP_PASSWORD', 'password');
require_once("./IXR_Library.php");
$rpc = new IXR_Client(WP_XMLRPC_URL);
$status = $rpc->query("system.listMethods"); // method name
if(!$status){
print "Error (".$rpc->getErrorCode().") : ";
print $rpc->getErrorMessage()."\n";
exit;
}
$content['post_type'] = 'post'; // post title
$content['title'] = 'Post Title '.date("F j, Y, g:i a"); // post title
$content['categories'] = array($response[1]['categoryName']); // psot categories
$content['description'] = '<p>Hello World!</p>'; // post body
$content['mt_keywords'] = 'tag keyword 1, tag keyword 2, tag keyword 3'; // post tags
$content['mt_allow_comments'] = 1; // allow comments
$content['mt_allow_pings'] = 1; // allow pings
$content['custom_fields'] = array(array('key'=>'Key Name', 'value'=>'Value One')); // custom fields
$publishBool = true;
if(!$rpc->query('metaWeblog.newPost', '', WP_USERNAME, WP_PASSWORD, $content, $publishBool)){
die('An error occurred - '.$rpc->getErrorCode().":".$rpc->getErrorMessage());
}
$postID = $rpc->getResponse();
echo 'POST ID: '.$postID.'<br/>';
if($postID){ // if post has successfully created
$fs = filesize(dirname(__FILE__).'/image.jpg');
$file = fopen(dirname(__FILE__).'/image.jpg', 'rb');
$filedata = fread($file, $fs);
fclose($file);
$data = array(
'name' => 'image.jpg',
'type' => 'image/jpg',
'bits' => new IXR_Base64($filedata),
false // overwrite
);
$status = $rpc->query(
'metaWeblog.newMediaObject',
$postID,
WP_USERNAME,
WP_PASSWORD,
$data
);
echo print_r($rpc->getResponse()); // Array ( [file] => image.jpg [url] => http://www.blog.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/image.jpg [type] => image/jpg )

I've been involved in WordPress sites (my current employer uses 3 of these) and posting stuff daily and by the bulk has forced me to use what I do best-- scripts!
They're PHP-based and are quick and easy to use and deploy. And security? Just use .htaccess to secure it.
As per research, XMLRPC when it comes to files is one thing wordpress really sucks at. Once you upload a file, you can't associate that attachment to a particular post! I know, it's annoying.
So I decided to figure it out for myself. It took me a week to sort it out. You will need 100% control over your publishing client that is XMLRPC compliant or this won't mean anything to you!
You will need, from your WordPress installation:
class-IXR.php, located in /wp-admin/includes
class-wp-xmlrpc-server.php, located in /wp-includes
class-IXR.php will be needed if you craft your own posting tool, like me. They have the correctly-working base64 encoder. Don't trust the one that comes with PHP.
You also need to be somewhat experienced in programming to be able to relate to this. I will try to be clearer.
Modify class-wp-xmlrpc-server.php
Download this to your computer, through ftp. Backup a copy, just in case.
Open the file in a text editor. If it doesn't come formatted, (typically it should, else, it's unix-type carriage breaks they are using) open it elsewhere or use something like ultraedit.
Pay attention to the mw_newMediaObject function. This is our target. A little note here; WordPress borrows functionality from blogger and movabletype. Although WordPress also has a unique class sets for xmlrpc, they choose to keep functionality common so that they work no matter what platform is in use.
Look for the function mw_newMediaObject($args). Typically, this should be in line 2948. Pay attention to your text editor's status bar to find what line number you are in. If you can't find it still, look for it using the search/find function of your text editor.
Scroll down a little and you should have something that looks like this:
$name = sanitize_file_name( $data['name'] );
$type = $data['type'];
$bits = $data['bits'];
After the $name variable, we will add something. See below.
$name = sanitize_file_name( $data['name'] );
$post = $data['post']; //the post ID to attach to.
$type = $data['type'];
$bits = $data['bits'];
Note the new $post variable. This means whenever you will make a new file upload request, a 'post' argument will now be available for you to attach.
How to find your post number depends on how you add posts with an xmlrpc-compliant client. Typically, you should obtain this as a result from posting. It is a numeric value.
Once you've edited the above, it's time to move on to line 3000.
// Construct the attachment array
// attach to post_id 0
$post_id = 0;
$attachment = array(
'post_title' => $name,
'post_content' => '',
'post_type' => 'attachment',
'post_parent' => $post_id,
'post_mime_type' => $type,
'guid' => $upload[ 'url' ]
);
So here's why no image is associated to any post! It is always defaulted to 0 for the post_parent argument!
That's not gonna be the case anymore.
// Construct the attachment array
// attach to post_id 0
$post_id = $post;
$attachment = array(
'post_title' => $name,
'post_content' => '',
'post_type' => 'attachment',
'post_parent' => $post_id,
'post_mime_type' => $type,
'guid' => $upload[ 'url' ]
);
$post_id now takes up the value of $post, which comes from the xmlrpc request. Once this is committed to the attachment, it will be associated to whatever post you desire!
This can be improved. A default value can be assigned so things don't get broken if no value is entered. Although in my side, I put the default value on my client, and no one else is accessing the XMLRPC interface but me.
With the changes done, save your file and re-upload it in the same path where you found it. Again, make sure to make backups.
Be wary of WordPress updates that affects this module. If that happens, you need to reapply this edit again!
Include class-IXR.php in your PHP-type editor. If you're using something else, well, I can't help you there. :(
Hope this helps some people.
When you post, WordPress will scan at the post for IMG tags.
If WP finds the image, it's loaded in it's media library. If there's an image in the body, it will automatically attached it to the post.
Basically you have to:
post the media (image) first
Grab its URL
include the URL of the image with a IMG tag in the body of your post.
then create the post
Here is some sample code. It needs error handling, and some more documentation.
$admin ="***";
$userid ="****";
$xmlrpc = 'http://localhost/web/blog/xmlrpc.php';
include '../blog/wp-includes/class-IXR.php';
$client = new IXR_Client($xmlrpc);
$author = "test";
$title = "Test Posting";
$categories = "chess,coolbeans";
$body = "This is only a test disregard </br>";
$tempImagesfolder = "tempImages";
$img = "1338494719chessBoard.jpg";
$attachImage = uploadImage($tempImagesfolder,$img);
$body .= "<img src='$attachImage' width='256' height='256' /></a>";
createPost($title,$body,$categories,$author);
/*
*/
function createPost($title,$body,$categories,$author){
global $username, $password,$client;
$authorID = findAuthor($author); //lookup id of author
/*$categories is a list seperated by ,*/
$cats = preg_split('/,/', $categories, -1, PREG_SPLIT_NO_EMPTY);
foreach ($cats as $key => $data){
createCategory($data,"","");
}
//$time = time();
//$time += 86400;
$data = array(
'title' => $title,
'description' => $body,
'dateCreated' => (new IXR_Date(time())),
//'dateCreated' => (new IXR_Date($time)), //publish in the future
'mt_allow_comments' => 0, // 1 to allow comments
'mt_allow_pings' => 0,// 1 to allow trackbacks
'categories' => $cats,
'wp_author_id' => $authorID //id of the author if set
);
$published = 0; // 0 - draft, 1 - published
$res = $client->query('metaWeblog.newPost', '', $username, $password, $data, $published);
}
/*
*/
function uploadImage($tempImagesfolder,$img){
global $username, $password,$client;
$filename = $tempImagesfolder ."/" . $img;
$fs = filesize($filename);
$file = fopen($filename, 'rb');
$filedata = fread($file, $fs);
fclose($file);
$data = array(
'name' => $img,
'type' => 'image/jpg',
'bits' => new IXR_Base64($filedata),
false //overwrite
);
$res = $client->query('wp.uploadFile',1,$username, $password,$data);
$returnInfo = $client->getResponse();
return $returnInfo['url']; //return the url of the posted Image
}
/*
*/
function findAuthor($author){
global $username, $password,$client;
$client->query('wp.getAuthors ', 0, $username, $password);
$authors = $client->getResponse();
foreach ($authors as $key => $data){
// echo $authors[$key]['user_login'] . $authors[$key]['user_id'] ."</br>";
if($authors[$key]['user_login'] == $author){
return $authors[$key]['user_id'];
}
}
return "not found";
}
/*
*/
function createCategory($catName,$catSlug,$catDescription){
global $username, $password,$client;
$res = $client->query('wp.newCategory', '', $username, $password,
array(
'name' => $catName,
'slug' => $catSlug,
'parent_id' => 0,
'description' => $catDescription
)
);
}
After calling the method metaWeblog.newMediaObject, we need to edit the image entry on the database to add a parent (the previously created post with metaWeblog.newPost).
If we try with metaWeblog.editPost, it throws an error 401, which indicates that
// Use wp.editPost to edit post types other than post and page.
if ( ! in_array( $postdata[ 'post_type' ], array( 'post', 'page' ) ) )
return new IXR_Error( 401, __( 'Invalid post type' ) );
The solution is to call wp.editPost, which takes the following arguments:
$blog_id = (int) $args[0];
$username = $args[1];
$password = $args[2];
$post_id = (int) $args[3];
$content_struct = $args[4];
So, just after newMediaObject, we do:
$status = $rpc->query(
'metaWeblog.newMediaObject',
$postID,
WP_USERNAME,
WP_PASSWORD,
$data
);
$response = $rpc->getResponse();
if( isset($response['id']) ) {
// ATTACH IMAGE TO POST
$image['post_parent'] = $postID;
if( !$rpc->query('wp.editPost', '1', WP_USERNAME, WP_PASSWORD, $response['id'], $image)) {
die( 'An error occurred - ' . $rpc->getErrorCode() . ":" . $rpc->getErrorMessage() );
}
echo 'image: ' . $rpc->getResponse();
// SET FEATURED IMAGE
$updatePost['custom_fields'] = array( array( 'key' => '_thumbnail_id', 'value' => $response['id'] ) );
if( !$rpc->query( 'metaWeblog.editPost', $postID, WP_USERNAME, WP_PASSWORD, $updatePost, $publishBool ) ) {
die( 'An error occurred - ' . $rpc->getErrorCode() . ":" . $rpc->getErrorMessage() );
}
echo 'update: ' . $rpc->getResponse();
}
I've used the Incutio XML-RPC Library for PHP to test and the rest of the code is exactly as in the question.
Here's some sample code to attach an image from a path not supported by WordPress (wp-content)
<?php
function attach_wordpress_images($productpicture,$newid)
{
include('../../../../wp-load.php');
$upload_dir = wp_upload_dir();
$dirr = $upload_dir['path'].'/';
$filename = $dirr . $productpicture;
# print "the path is : $filename \n";
# print "Filnamn: $filename \n";
$uploads = wp_upload_dir(); // Array of key => value pairs
# echo $uploads['basedir'] . '<br />';
$productpicture = str_replace('/uploads','',$productpicture);
$localfile = $uploads['basedir'] .'/' .$productpicture;
# echo "Local path = $localfile \n";
if (!file_exists($filename))
{
echo "hittade inte $filename !";
die ("no image for flaska $id $newid !");
}
if (!copy($filename, $localfile))
{
wp_delete_post($newid);
echo "Failed to copy the file $filename to $localfile ";
die("Failed to copy the file $filename to $localfile ");
}
$wp_filetype = wp_check_filetype(basename($localfile), null );
$attachment = array(
'post_mime_type' => $wp_filetype['type'],
'post_title' => preg_replace('/\.[^.]+$/', '', basename($localfile)),
'post_content' => '',
'post_status' => 'inherit'
);
$attach_id = wp_insert_attachment( $attachment, $localfile, $newid );
// you must first include the image.php file
// for the function wp_generate_attachment_metadata() to work
require_once(ABSPATH . 'wp-admin/includes/image.php');
$attach_data = wp_generate_attachment_metadata( $attach_id, $localfile );
wp_update_attachment_metadata( $attach_id, $attach_data );
}
?>
I had to do this several months ago. It is possible but not only is it hacky and undocumented I had to dig through wordpress source to figure it out. What I wrote up way back then:
One thing that was absolutely un-documented was a method to attach an image to a post. After some digging I found attach_uploads() which is a function that wordpress calls every time a post is created or edited over xml-rpc. What it does is search through the list of un-attached media objects and see if the new/edited post contains a link to them. Since I was trying to attach images so that the theme’s gallery would use them I didn’t necessarily want to link to the images within the post, nor did I want to edit wordpress. So what I ended up doing was including the image url within an html comment. -- danieru.com
Like I said messy but I searched high and low for a better method and I'm reasonably sure that none exists.
As of Wordpress 3.5, newmediaobject now recognizes the hack semi-natively.
it is no longer necessary to hack class-wp-xmlrpc-server.php.
Instead, your xml-rpc client needs to send the post number to a variable called post_id. (Previously it was just the variable 'post')
Hope that helps someone out.
I'm having some issues trying to get my code to post the HTML canvas into Tumblr as a photo. I'm using PHP, and the code on the server side is as follows:
if(isset($_POST['postphoto']) and $_SESSION['loggedin']) {
$title = $_POST['title'];
$caption = $_POST['caption'];
tags = $_POST['tags'];
$imageData = $_POST['imageData'];
$imageData = substr($imageData,strpos($imageData,",")+1);
$imageData = str_replace(' ','+',$imageData);
# Set access token
$tumblr->set_token($_SESSION['oauth_token'], $_SESSION['oauth_token_secret']);
$data = array();
$data['post'] = array(
'type' => 'photo',
'generator' => 'AppName',
'data' => $imageData,
'name' => $title,
'caption' => $caption,
'tags' => $tags
);
$response = $tumblr->fetch('http://www.tumblr.com/api/write', $data);
if($response['successful']) {
echo "Update successful!<br><br>";
} else {
echo "Update failed. {$response[body]}<br><br>";
}
}
On the JavaScript side, I have the following:
var imgData = canvas.toDataURL("image/png");
$("#imageData").val(imgData);
imageData is of form type hidden so I simply set the value. The entire form is then posted to the PHP side. I have checked and the values are passed correctly (I did a similar thing for TwitPic, it works since it simply takes in the toDataURL value, but Tumblr is giving lots of issue).
Thanks for the help! :)
It could be because you are posting title to photo posts?
Photo posts don't have title. Let me know if it works when u remove 'name' => $title,.
