Multiple getFile - PHP
Hi,
I'm currently making a website that requires multiple images to be downloaded with the dropbox API in one go (up to 300 at a time).
Currently I am using this code, however I only ever seem to be able to download 46 images at a time before it stops. (I even tried upping max execution time)
I'm working on making it just put the files into a DB and periodically just update from there but that seems highly inefficient.
Is there a call to fetch multiple files in one go?
My current code:
if($delta['has_more'] == 1){//if new files are present
print_r($delta['has_more']);
foreach($delta['entries'] as $entry){
print_r($entry['0']);
echo '<hr/>';
if($entry['1'] == null){
unlink(basename($entry['0']));
}else{
if($entry['1']['is_dir'] != 1){//if not a directory
//save new file
$path = $entry['1']['path'];
$filename = basename($path);
$output = '/var/www/vhosts/MY/DOMAIN/images/dropbox/'.$filename;
$f = fopen($output, "w+b"); // write to $output
$fileImage = $dbxClient->getFile($path, $f);
fclose($f);
}
}
}

No, there's no API method to download multiple files in a single request.
What do you mean when you say "it stops"? Is there some sort of error?
The first line of this code seems wrong... has_more means there will be more entries if you call delta again. I also don't see the loop where you're calling delta for more entries.
The logic should be something like this (pseudocode):
has_more = true
while(has_more)
result = delta()
has_more = result['has_more']
process_entries(result.entries)
