Upload file via API

[felix21]

Im trying to upload files via the REST Api but the file gets corrupt.

Code:

$handle = fopen("/home/test/test.pdf", "r");
$contents = fread($handle, filesize("/home/test/test.pdf"));
fclose($handle);

$post = array(
	'category' => 4,
	'author' => 2,
	'title' => 'Test',
	'description' => 'Test',
	'files' => array('test.pdf' => $contents),
);
$target_url = 'https://example.com/api/downloads/files';
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 86400);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL,$target_url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST,1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, http_build_query($post));
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER,1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPAUTH,CURLAUTH_BASIC);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERPWD,$apikey.":");
$result = curl_exec ($ch);
curl_close ($ch);

Any suggestions?

$post = array(
	'category' => 1,
	'author' => 1,
	'title' => 'Test title',
	'description' => 'test description',
	'files' => array(
		"test.txt" => file_get_contents('/home/test/test.txt')
	)
);

This should be correct

It works but the file gets corrupt?

I don't have tried this (it is empty?)

EDIT: what return $result?

var_dump($result);

If I upload just a simple text file it works but if I upload for example an pdf or zip file it gets corrupt.

try also with .html, I think there is a issue with permission on server configuration (read permission)

EDIT: make sure content of the file is not empty

I tried an html file with tags and some symbols and it don't get corrupt.

var_dump says:
