How to convert a command line cUrl to PHP cUrl

Question 1

I was trying to publish messages from PHP and I need to convert the following command into a PHP cURL:

  curl -X PUT --data-binary "Hello World" http://eclipse.mqttbridge.com/test

No matter what I try i cannot get it going. I tried curl_exec and exec commands but no results. How do you convert this command into PHP cUrl, or at least execute from exec command?

Thanks!

Question 2

    $data = "Hello World";
    $ch = curl_init('http://eclipse.mqttbridge.com/test');

    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST, "PUT");
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $data);

    $response = curl_exec($ch);

Question 3

I have another answer that addresses the situation even better to leave here for posterity.

CURLOPT_WRITEFUNCTION is good for this but CURLOPT_PROGRESSFUNCTION is the best.

// We need progress updates to break the connection mid-way
curl_setopt($cURL_Handle, CURLOPT_BUFFERSIZE, 128); // more progress info
curl_setopt($cURL_Handle, CURLOPT_NOPROGRESS, false);
curl_setopt($cURL_Handle, CURLOPT_PROGRESSFUNCTION, function(
    $DownloadSize, $Downloaded, $UploadSize, $Uploaded
){
    // If $Downloaded exceeds 1KB, returning non-0 breaks the connection!
    return ($Downloaded > (1 * 1024)) ? 1 : 0;
});

Keep in mind that even if the PHP.net states^ for CURLOPT_PROGRESSFUNCTION:

A callback accepting five parameters.

My local tests have featured only four (4) parameters as the 1st (handle) is not present.

Question 4

cURL is not able to verify the authenticity of the certificate being used, because the certificate for the signing authority cannot be found in the local database.

This might be symptomatic of a self signed certificate being used.

What you should do is add the certificate for the signing authority to /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt.

What you can do is use curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false);, which will disable the check that is failing.

You really should use the first option.

Question 5

you should check examples from here http://php.net/manual/en/curl.examples.php

Bellow is the code for you case,

$url = "http://build:[email protected]:8080/job/android-test/buildWithParameters";     
$data = "POST_RESULTS=true&RUN_ID=".$testrun_id."&CHECK_NAME=SampleAutomatedPlan";
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST, false);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false);  
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $data); 

// $output contains the output string
$output = curl_exec($ch);

// close curl resource to free up system resources
curl_close($ch);

Question 6

a starting point:

<?php

$pageurl = "http://hostname/@api/deki/pages/=TestPage/files/=";
$filename = "test.png";

$theurl = $pageurl . $filename;

$ch = curl_init($theurl);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIE, ...); // -b
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST, 'PUT'); // -X
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_BINARYTRANSFER, TRUE); // --data-binary
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, ['Content-Type: image/png']); // -H
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTP_VERSION, CURL_HTTP_VERSION_1_0); // -0

...
?>
