FuelPHP Forums

I cannot get FuelPhp Curl to upload a file with the "CURLFile" class, although it
works with regular Php. I'm running versions of Php at least 5.5.

Here is a test program I wrote:

==========================================
<?php

/**
 * @group SampleTester
 */
class Test_SampleTester extends TestCase {
  private static $SAMPLE_URL
//          = 'http://URL/TO/SITE/sample.json';
 
  private static $UPLOAD_FILE = "/tmp/newfile.data";

  public static function setUpBeforeClass() {
    // create a temporary file for upload, put some data into it
   
    $myfile = fopen(self::$UPLOAD_FILE, "w") or die("Unable to open file!");
    $data = "SOME DATA IN THE FILE";
    fwrite($myfile, $data);
    fclose($myfile);
  }

  public function test_php_curl() {
    echo "\n---- test php_curl ----\n\n";
   
    $ch = curl_init();
   
    curl_setopt_array($ch, [
     CURLOPT_URL => self::$SAMPLE_URL,
     CURLOPT_POST => 1,
     CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER => true,
    ]);
   
    $post = [
        'file' => new CURLFile(self::$UPLOAD_FILE, 'application/octet-stream'),
    ];

    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $post);

    $result = curl_exec($ch);
    if ($result === false) {
      echo '**************** Curl error: ' . curl_error($ch);
    }
    curl_close($ch);
       
    echo $result, "\n";   
  }

  public function test_fuel_curl() {
    echo "\n---- test fuel_curl ----\n\n";
   
    $curl = Request::forge(self::$SAMPLE_URL, 'curl');
 
    $curl->set_method('post');
   
    $curl->set_header('enctype', 'multipart/form-data'); // no help with this
   
    $curl->set_params([
        'file' => new CURLFile(self::$UPLOAD_FILE, 'application/octet-stream'),
    ]);
    $result = $curl->execute();
   
    $result_body = $result->response()->body;

    echo $result_body, "\n";   
  }
}
==========================================

The target URL is the following REST controller:
==========================================
<?php

class Controller_Sample extends Controller_Rest {

  public function post_index() {
    try {
      $num_uploads = count(Upload::get_files());
      return $this->response([
                  'status' => 'ok',
                  'message' => "num_uploads: $num_uploads",
      ]);
    }
    catch (Exception $ex) {
      return $this->response([
                  'status' => 'error',
                  'message' => $ex->getMessage(),
      ]);
    }
  }
}
==========================================

I run the test program:
  php oil t group=SampleTester

And the output shows that the php curl version works, but
the FuelPhp curl version indicates that no files were uploaded.

==========================================
PHPUnit 5.1.3 by Sebastian Bergmann and contributors.

.
---- test php_curl ----

{"status":"ok","message":"num_uploads: 1"}
.                                                                  2 / 2 (100%)
---- test fuel_curl ----

{"status":"error","message":"No uploaded files were found. Did you specify \u0022enctype\u0022 in your \u0026lt;form\u0026gt; tag?"}

==========================================

I could live with the Php-curl version, but I'd love to get
the Fuel version working.

Thanks for any help.
