API php attachment

Hi there,

I tried to upload a file using Asana API in two ways:

php-asana library (example file)
making CURL request

and in both cases have received an error message: “file: File is not an object”.

Can you help me identify the problem?

Many Thanks!

Hi Jeff,

here it is:

github.com

Asana/php-asana/blob/master/examples/example-create-task-and-upload.php

<?php

require dirname(__FILE__) . '/../vendor/autoload.php';

use Asana\Client;

$ASANA_ACCESS_TOKEN = getenv('ASANA_ACCESS_TOKEN');

// Access Token Instructions:

// 1. set your ASANA_ACCESS_TOKEN environment variable to a Personal Access Token found in Asana Account Settings

if ($ASANA_ACCESS_TOKEN === false) {
    echo "Please set the ASANA_ACCESS_TOKEN environment variable.\n";
    exit;
}

// create a $client->with a Personal Access Token
$client = Asana\Client::accessToken($ASANA_ACCESS_TOKEN);
$me = $client->users->me();

This file has been truncated. show original

It throws “file: File is not an object” on $client->attachments->createOnTask(…)

BTW I found the reason: this example doesn’t work with PHP 7.0+ because of CURL ( CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS should not contain @ - see https://binfalse.de/2016/06/21/forget-the-at-use-curl-file-create/)

So, the next code works:

$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, 'https://app.asana.com/api/1.0/tasks/' . $taskId . '/attachments');
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, ['Authorization: Bearer ' . $apiToken]);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, ['file' => new \CURLFile($pathToFile, $fileType, $fileName)]);
$data = curl_exec($ch);

Thanks!
