ATTACHMENT WITH CATS CANDIDATE UPLOADING BROKEN IMAGE

[Ahsan Hussain]

Hi,

I'm trying to attach image to candidate record by using following code in laravel, but the images are getting uploaded brokenly, please let me know where i'm going wrong and also let me know if there is any library of catsone for laravel.

Code:

I'm using V3 of cats and its document link i'm following is : https://api.catsone.com/v3/docs/#candidates-upload-an-attachment

$imageName = time().'.'.$request->image->getClientOriginalExtension();
$request->image->move(public_path('images'), $imageName);
$imageName = realpath(public_path('images') . '/1475160618.png');

$curl = curl_init();

curl_setopt_array($curl, array(
  CURLOPT_URL => "https://api.catsone.com/v3/candidates/175294227/attachments?filename=1122.png",
  CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER => true,
  CURLOPT_ENCODING => "",
  CURLOPT_MAXREDIRS => 10,
  CURLOPT_TIMEOUT => 30,
  CURLOPT_HTTP_VERSION => CURL_HTTP_VERSION_1_1,
  CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST => "POST",
  CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS => 'data:image/png;base64,'.base64_encode(file_get_contents($imageName)),
  CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER => array(
    "authorization: Token 3***********************************3e",
    "cache-control: no-cache",
    "content-type: application/octet-stream",
  ),
));

$response = curl_exec($curl);
$err = curl_error($curl);

curl_close($curl);

if ($err) {
   dd($err);
} else {
    dd($response);
}


Above is my code i'm using to add an attachment.

Hi there,

The docs mention `--data-binary @filename.txt` as the way to pass in the attachment. The equivalent of that using php curl is to change your `CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS` line to `CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS => file_get_contents($imageName)`. There's no need to base64 encode for this endpoint.
