curl_exec使用php在box api中上传文件失败

Question

I am able to upload the file using curl on the terminal with the following:

curl https://upload.box.com/api/2.0/files/content \
> -H "Authorization: Bearer {access-code}" -X POST \
> -F attributes='{"name":"tested.png", "parent":{"id":"3804480350"}}' \
> -F file=@/Applications/MAMP/htdocs/BoxappTest/test.png

But when I try to do the same using PHP with the following code:

$filePath=realPath("./test.png");
$xmlfile = file_get_contents("codes.xml");          
$codes_data = simplexml_load_string($xmlfile);
$access_token=$codes_data->access_code;
$destination_filename="tested.png";
$id="3804480350";
   $ch=  curl_init();    
   curl_reset($ch);
echo "Uploading file...",'<br>';
$post = '{"name":"'.$destination_filename.'", "parent":{"id":"'.$id.'"}}';
$postfields = Array("attributes"=>$post,"file" => "@".$filePath);        
$headers= Array("Authorization: Bearer " . $access_token);

    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, "https://upload.box.com/api/2.0/files/content");
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, true);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $postfields);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, $headers);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLINFO_HEADER_OUT, true);
    $output=curl_exec($ch);
    $info=curl_getinfo($ch);
    curl_close($ch);

    if(curl_errno($ch)) {
        echo 'Curl error: ' . curl_error($ch); 
    }

    foreach($info as $data => $part) {
        echo $data."=".$part, '<br>';
    }

    echo "File uploaded...",'<br>';
    var_dump($output);

It gives me the following output:

File uploaded...
string(0) ""

I have gone over various sites but none of them seem to be right for my problem. No matter what I do, the content_type stays 'text/html'. I have tried to set it in the header and the post fields. But both didn't work. I know I am getting the access codes properly and that they are valid. I am not sure about the curl options though. Setting CURLOPT_VERBOSE or checking for errors does not return anything either. While without the CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER option, curl_exec returns true. Can someone help me understand where I am making a mistake here?

Answer 1

I was not able to solve this problem using php itself but using shell_exec() to run the fully form curl command actually worked. So I have stuck to that implementation.

    $cmd = "curl https://upload.box.com/api/2.0/files/content \
            -H \"Authorization: Bearer $access_token\" -X POST \
            -F attributes='{\"name\":\"$dest_name\",\"parent\": {\"id\":\"$parent_id\"}}' \
            -F file=@\"$filePath\"";

    $result=shell_exec($cmd);

    return result;

I hope this helps somebody.

http_code=400 Bad Request.

Try to set your header enctype='multipart/form-data',as upload file use form.

CURLOPT_POST TRUE to do a regular HTTP POST. This POST is the normal application/x-www-form-urlencoded kind, most commonly used by HTML forms.
