Uploading Resume and motivation fails (apply_joborder)

[Ka-Sing Chou]

Hello,

I tried to do an apply_joborder api call with CURL. See the routine here below.

INPUT 

$option = array (

    [transaction_code] => 147d13863c84e3ea3843f8f31d4917f9,

    [44727] => @/var/www/uwnota.dev/public_html/sites/default/files/Test CV.docx,

    [44754] => @/var/www/uwnota.dev/public_html/sites/default/files/Test Motivatie.docx,

    [44730] => Onsweb Test,

    [44733] => Onsweb Test,

    [44739] => sdfasf,

    [44742] => NULL,

    [44745] => NULL,

    [44748] => NULL,

    [44751] => 0654763081,

    [id] => 219610,

);

FUNCTION

$ch = curl_init();

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, 'https://infomedics.catsone.nl/api/apply_joborder');

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST,1);

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $options);

$result=curl_exec ($ch);

curl_close ($ch);

RESULT

<response success="false">

    <error code="412">44727 is a required parameter for Upload CV.</error>

</response>

QUESTION

What am I doing wrong?

Friendly Regards,

Hi,

You may need to set the following curl option:

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SAFE_UPLOAD, false);

Also verify that the file permissions are correct.

Hope that helps.

Dear Aaron, 

The file permissions are correct. Setup the Curl_setopt line. I still get the same message (44727 is a required parameter for Upload CV. 1).

Hi,

The problem is the file is not being sent to the API. You'll have to dig into why CURL isn't sending it. Maybe this is applicable: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/25934128/curl-file-uploads-not-working-anymore-after-upgrade-from-php-5-5-to-5-6

Thanks Aaron! That helped a lot.

In any latest PHP versions, instead of @{file-paths}, one can use new \CURLFile({file-path}

For those who are troubling with uploading resume's or files, here is the snippet which I used in a Drupal form:

.......
 
function onsweb_apply_form_validate($form, &$form_state) {
  $file = file_save_upload('wb_file_resume', array(
    'file_validate_extensions' => array('docx doc pdf'),
  ));
  if ($file) {
    if ($file = file_move($file, 'public://')) {
      $form_state['values']['wb_file_resume'] = $file;
    } else {
      form_set_error($key, t('Failed to write the uploaded file the site\'s file folder.'));
    }
  } else {
    form_set_error($key, t('No file was uploaded.'));
  }
}

// FYI, this function is being called after the validation function
function onsweb_apply_form_submit($form, &$form_state) {

  $options = array('transaction_code' => '{{YOUR_CODE_HERE}}');
  $options['id'] = $form_state['values']['item_id']; // The ID of the vacancy as in context
 
  foreach ($form_state['values'] as $key => $value) {
    if (strstr($key, 'wb_file_')) {
      $file = $value;
      $file->status = FILE_STATUS_PERMANENT; // Drupal thingy
      file_save($file);
       $wrapper = file_stream_wrapper_get_instance_by_uri($file->uri);
      $options[str_replace('wb_file_', '', $key)] = new \CURLFile($wrapper->realpath());
    }
    if (strstr($key, 'wb_') && !strstr($key, 'wb_file_')) $options[str_replace('wb_', '', $key)] = $value;
  }

  // Copy pasted the _do function from the Catsone API V2

  $ch = curl_init();
  curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, 'https://infomedics.catsone.nl/api/apply_joborder');

  curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
  curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT, 90);
  curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 90);
  curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FAILONERROR, true);
  curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, true);
  if (defined('CURLOPT_SAFE_UPLOAD')) {
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SAFE_UPLOAD, false);
  }
  curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $options);
  curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array('Expect:'));
  $result = curl_exec($ch);
  $xml = simplexml_load_string($result);
  curl_close ($ch);


  if (!$xml) {
    drupal_set_message(t('Something Wong'), 'error');
  }
  if ($xml['success'] !== 'true') {
    drupal_set_message(t('All Cool'));
  }
}

Cheers!

Friendly regards
