UPLOAD FROM HTTP WITH PHP NOT WORKING
Hello ! I want to upload an image (test.png) from the root of my site to my Dropbox but it doesn't work. My php script is in the same folder than image test.png :
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, "https://content.dropboxapi.com/2/files/upload");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
$post = array(
"file" => "@" .realpath("test.png")
);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $post);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
$headers = array();
$headers[] = "Authorization: Bearer MY_BEAUTIFUL_TOKEN";
$headers[] = "Dropbox-Api-Arg: {\"path\": \"/test.png\",\"mode\": \"add\",\"autorename\": true,\"mute\": false}";
$headers[] = "Content-Type: application/octet-stream";
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, $headers);
$curl_response_res = curl_exec ($ch);
echo $curl_response_res; // Server response
print_r(curl_getinfo($ch)); // Http Response
curl_close($ch);
fclose($fh_res);
What is the problem ?

What output are you getting? The HTTP response body from the API should contain either the metadata for the uploaded file, or an error indicating why the upload failed. Hello ! Thanks for interest, I found a solution on Stack Overflow :
$path = 'test.png'; $fp = fopen($path, 'rb'); $size = filesize($path); $cheaders = array('Authorization: Bearer <TOKEN>', 'Content-Type: application/octet-stream', 'Dropbox-API-Arg: {"path":"/'.$path.'", "mode":"add"}'); $ch = curl_init('https://content.dropboxapi.com/2/files/upload'); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, $cheaders); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_PUT, true); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST, 'POST'); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_INFILE, $fp); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_INFILESIZE, $size); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true); $response = curl_exec($ch); echo $response; curl_close($ch); fclose($fp);
