Upload local file via PHP
Astor
via web
Hello,
I'm trying to upload a video stored in a server folder (ex "/path/to/video.avi") using the post method of panda class. This is my code:
include('panda.php');
$panda = new Panda(); $res = @$panda->post('/videos.json',
array(
'file' => "/path/to/video.avi",
'path_format' => "myfolder/:id",
'profiles' => "Profile1"
));
It seems that nothing happens and video is not sent to panda dashboard.
I tried the same code using "source_url" and a video in a public folder (ex "http://www.mysite.com/folder/video.avi") and works great but I would like to avoid moving all videos to public folder before.
Could you please help me? Thanks in advance.

Hi Astor,
what did the $res variable return to you ?

Hello,
I'm getting an error:
stdClass Object ( [error] => NotAuthorized [message] => Signatures do not match: you should have sent xxxxx , but you sent yyyyyy)
If I just replace the line 'file' => "/path/to/video.avi" with 'source_url' => "http://www.mysite.com/folder/video.avi" everything works fine. I get a video id as expected in $res and video is processed in dashboard (checked online).

My bad,
are you sure you want to upload the file from the server to pandastream ? Ususally
people prefer that the client browser uploads directly to pandastream as documented here: http://www.pandastream.com/docs/integrate_with_php#implementing_vid...
This let us handle the load and you just have to keep track of the video IDs on the PHP side.
In the event that you want to upload from the server, the issue here is that the PHP doesn't have a facility for that. In the previous example you're sending a string '/path/to/video.avi' and not the actual content of the video. This is why you're getting a signature error.
Hope that it helps,
Jonas

Hi!
I already have the web client and works great but I need to upload another videos with a batch process so that's why I have to do it via PHP.
I tried to use file_get_contents method (with FILE_BINARY flag) as value for 'file' parameter but I get the same error.
Finally I have to move the videos to a public folder and use the 'source_url' parameter. All works fine that way.
Thanks for help anyway :)
