PHP upload file to API -

i trying use api , not getting anywhere. documention says "the document fax written directly request input stream in binary format"

i have tried using examples web like....

$xsendurl = 'http:/example.com/default.ashx?opt=sendfax&username=johndoe...';  # new data $data = array('filedata' => '@/data/html/sites/support/faapi/test.tif');  # create connection $ch = curl_init();  # setting our options curl_setopt($ch, curlopt_url, $xsendurl); curl_setopt($ch, curlopt_post, 1); curl_setopt($ch, curlopt_postfields, $data); curl_setopt($ch, curlopt_returntransfer, true); curl_setopt($ch, curlopt_binarytransfer, 1); curl_setopt($ch, curlopt_verbose, 1);  # response $response = curl_exec($ch); curl_close($ch); 

but when check file created on server contents of file path defined $data variable. (@/data/html/sites/support/faapi/test.tif)

i new @ php. looked php://input , php://outout not sure if work.

on url use invoke api pass filename, username, , security tokens not sure how grab request input stream upload file after opening url.

any appreciated.

thanks

i try using file_get_contents() specialized stream. works follows:

1. create "context" description how http request should formed:

   • use post request
   • send additional header content-type: image/tiff
   • include contents of tiff file

2. request api url using specified context.

skeleton code:

$data = file_get_contents('/data/html/sites/support/faapi/test.tif');  $options = array('http' =>     array(         'method'  => 'post',         'header'  => 'content-type: image/tiff',         'content' => $data,     ) );  $context = stream_context_create($options); $result = file_get_contents($xsendurl, false, $context);
