Covert the curl command into php

Question

I have tried to convert the curl command from https://incarnate.github.io/curl-to-php/ URL. but they are not giving me proper php code for that. Can you please help out.

curl -i -F account_id=12345 -F authhash=BKPda_T497AX4EjBsk3ttw9OcOzk -F audioFile=@CasioVoice.wav  https://url/upload

I tried this code to convert into php code. but not getting proper output.

 $cmd = "curl -i -F 
                account_id=12345 -F 
                authhash=BKPda_T497AX4EjBsk3ttw9OcOzk -F 
                audioFile=@CasioVoice.wav 
                https://url/upload";
        exec($cmd,$result);

You are getting correct thing:- `// Generated by curl-to-PHP: http://incarnate.github.io/curl-to-php/ $ch = curl_init(); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, "https://url/upload"); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1); $result = curl_exec($ch); if (curl_errno($ch)) { echo 'Error:' . curl_error($ch); } curl_close ($ch);` — Serving Quarantine period, Mar 23 '18 at 11:59
@AlivetoDie OP wants to send an encoded form (```-F```, which also implies a ```POST``` request), and get back HTTP headers (```-i```). The converter site completely disregards these details. — tevemadar, Mar 23 '18 at 12:08
@AlivetoDie If they are providing correct thing. where is my authHash, accountId and audio file? — Maneesh Rao, Mar 23 '18 at 12:09

The only thing missing from the linked question is the ```-i``` part, you need CURLOPT_HEADER for that: ```curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 1);```. Documentation: http://php.net/manual/en/function.curl-setopt.php — tevemadar, Mar 23 '18 at 12:17

To summarize the comments:

curl -i -F account_id=12345 -F authhash=BKPda_T497AX4EjBsk3ttw9OcOzk -F audioFile=@CasioVoice.wav  https://url/upload

is going to be

<?php
$ch = curl_init();

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL,"https://url/upload");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS,
    array(
       'account_id' => '12345',
       'authhash' => 'BKPda_T497AX4EjBsk3ttw9OcOzk',
       'audioFile' => new CURLFile('CasioVoice.wav')));

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, true);

$server_output = curl_exec ($ch);
curl_close ($ch);

And then you may have to fight with https, depending on the server's certification. If you need that, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER and CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST are some options to look into, but let's hope you will not need them.

The code is executed now. but my audio file is not pushing to the third party. I am using $filepath = '@' . realpath('/callRecord/CasioVoice.wav') – Maneesh Rao Mar 23 '18 at 12:40
I have putted the correct authHash and account_id in curl call. but it giving me 401 error. While same thing I am doing on curl command. it is working. Please help where I am lacking? – Maneesh Rao Mar 23 '18 at 13:27
no it's not, you're wrong. guys, stop upvoting this post, this is wrong. this would send a `application/x-www-form-urlencoded`-formatted request with no file attached whatsoever, OP's code is actually uploading a file, and using the `multipart/form-data`-format. – hanshenrik Mar 23 '18 at 15:08
@hanshenrik yes, you are right, ```http_build_query``` was a trap. The ```@``` syntax is expected to work, so I just leave it be. – tevemadar Mar 23 '18 at 15:20
@ManeeshRao remove the ```http_build_query``` thing, that was a bad idea. Also, it is not clear if you want to get the response or pass it through your code - in the latter case ```curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);``` should be commented/removed. – tevemadar Mar 23 '18 at 15:27
@tevemadar no, the @ syntax is NOT expected to work anymore. @ was deprecated in PHP 5.5 (in favor of CURLFile ) , was disabled-by-default in PHP 5.6 (see the CURLOPT_SAFE_UPLOAD documentation), and completely removed in PHP7. – hanshenrik Mar 23 '18 at 15:40
@hanshenrik great, it's PHP being PHP: ```CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS ``` only says "*As of PHP 5.5.0, the @ prefix is deprecated and files can be sent using CURLFile. The @ prefix can be disabled for safe passing of values beginning with @ by setting the CURLOPT_SAFE_UPLOAD option to TRUE.*" – tevemadar Mar 23 '18 at 15:46
@tevemadar damn, you're right. someone should fix the CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS documentation. – hanshenrik Mar 23 '18 at 15:48

your PHP code try to execute curl with a bunch of newlines in the parameters, and the newlines are confusing curl. get rid of the newlines, and it should work.

$cmd = "curl -i -F account_id=12345 -F authhash=BKPda_T497AX4EjBsk3ttw9OcOzk -F audioFile=@CasioVoice.wav https://url/upload";

or use concatenation to avoid the newlines at runtime, while still having them in the source code,

 $cmd = "curl -i ".
        "-F account_id=12345 ".
        "-F authhash=BKPda_T497AX4EjBsk3ttw9OcOzk ".
        "-F audioFile=@CasioVoice.wav " .
        "https://url/upload";

, ps, you can also use php's libcurl wrapper to the same effect,

$ch = curl_init ();
curl_setopt_array ( $ch, array (
        CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS => array (
                "account_id" => 12345,
                "authhash" => "BKPda_T497AX4EjBsk3ttw9OcOzk",
                "audioFile" => new CURLFile ( "CasioVoice.wav" ) 
        ),
        CURLOPT_URL => "https://url/upload",
        CURLINFO_HEADER_OUT=>1
) );
curl_exec ( $ch );
curl_close ( $ch );
