Sending a file via HTTP PUT in PHP
Solution 1
Aha! After a little "rubber ducking" with the grumpy dwarf stuffed doll on my desk here, I figured out the solution:
$data = file_get_contents($tmpFile); $params = array( 'http' => array( 'method' => 'PUT', 'header' => "Authorization: Basic " . base64_encode($this->ci->config->item('ws_login') . ':' . $this->ci->config->item('ws_passwd')) . "\r\nContent-type: text/xml\r\n", 'content' => file_get_contents($tmpFile) ) ); $ctx = stream_context_create($params); $response = @file_get_contents($url, false, $ctx); return ($response == '');
Solution 2
CURL works for me. Here is snippet from my code,
$handle = curl_init ($server_url);
if ($handle)
{
// specify custom header
$customHeader = array(
"Content-type: $file_type"
);
$curlOptArr = array(
CURLOPT_PUT => TRUE,
CURLOPT_HEADER => TRUE,
CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER => $customHeader,
CURLOPT_INFILESIZE => $file_size,
CURLOPT_INFILE => $file,
CURLOPT_HTTPAUTH => CURLAUTH_BASIC,
CURLOPT_USERPWD => $user . ':' . $password,
CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER => TRUE
);
curl_setopt_array($handle, $curlOptArr);
$ret = curl_exec($handle);
$errRet = curl_error($handle);
curl_close($handle);
EDIT: Just updated my code. I don't use authentication myself so this is not tested.
Solution 3
This works for me...
function put($_server,$_file,$_data)
{
$fp = @fsockopen ($_server, 80, $errno, $errstr, 30);
if ($fp)
{
$p = "PUT $_file HTTP/1.0\r\n";
$p.= "User-Agent: Mozilla/3.0 (Windows NT 5.0; U) Opera 7.21 [da]\r\n";
$p.= "Host: $_server\r\n";
$p.= "Accept: text/html, application/xml;q=0.9, application/xhtml+xml;q=0.9, image/png, image/jpeg, image/gif, image/x-xbitmap, */*;q=0.1\r\n";
$p.= "Accept-Language: da;q=1.0,en;q=0.9\r\n";
$p.= "Accept-Charset: windows-1252, utf-8, utf-16, iso-8859-1;q=0.6, *;q=0.1\r\n";
$p.= "Accept-Encoding: deflate, gzip, x-gzip, identity, *;q=0\r\n";
$p.= "Referer: http://www.nasa.gov/secret/flightplans.asp\r\n";
$p.= "Content-type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded\r\n";
$p.= "Content-length: ".strlen($_data)."\r\n";
$p.= "\r\n";
$p.= $_data;
//echo($p);
fputs ($fp, $p);
}
else die("dagnabbit : $errstr");
while ($l=fgets($fp))
echo($l);
fclose($fp);
}
Many of the header lines are probably not necessary... but it works when I talk to my couchdb so I haven't gotten around to weeding them out.

I've been struggling for several hours trying to figure out how to get this work. I'm trying to send a file via HTTP-PUT to an eXist db. There is user authentication for the server, so I was trying to do something like this:
I have the URL where the doc is to be PUTted to I have the username and password for the eXist DB I have the content that needs to be sent via the PUT
I tried getting to work with cURL but it would fail silently I tried to use PHP streams, but kept getting "error 201/created" but no file was actually created.
Any help with this would be GREATLY appreciated.
Here's some sample code I tried using PHP streams
$data = file_get_contents($tmpFile); $header = array( "Authorization: Basic " . base64_encode($this->ci->config->item('ws_login') . ':' . $this->ci->config->item('ws_passwd')), "Content-Type: text/xml" ); $params = array( 'http' => array( 'method' => 'PUT', 'header' => $header, 'content' => $data)); $ctx = stream_context_create($params); $response = file_get_contents($url, false, $ctx);

meder omuraliev over 14 yearsCan you explain? Was it the addition of the
content
key, or the return statement? -
GrumpyCanuck over 14 yearsIt was one thing: changing the way I was building the header. I still have to suppress the out of file_get_contents as it returns a warning, but I can live with that for now until I find a better way to trap it.

GrumpyCanuck over 14 yearsThat's from my own blog, and I found that it wasn't working correctly. ;)

GrumpyCanuck over 14 yearsI wasn't able to get the HTTP authentication stuff to work with cURL. Can you update that cURL example to use it?
