UPLOAD FROM HTTP WITH PHP NOT WORKING

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);
