<?php $target = "/home/jobsjqvi/public_html/codefixup.com/codefile/"; $target = $target.basename($_FILES['uploaded']['name']) ; $headers = array( 'Authorization: Bearer Token Value', 'Content-type: multipart/form-data' ); $url = "https://example.com/api/v1/import/uploadfile"; $csv_file = new CURLFile($target,'text/csv'); $post_data = array( "importfile" => $csv_file ); $curl = curl_init(); curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_VERBOSE, true); curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_HEADER, false); curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_POST, true); curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_URL, $url); curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $post_data); curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, $headers); $response = curl_exec($curl); $status = curl_getinfo($curl, CURLINFO_HTTP_CODE); curl_close($curl); ?> |
If you found that file is imported as empty or any other issue, must upload the file in target path.
Than try to upload file again using html form. This will work without any issue.
