Copy link

it always return a blank response
why???
and i get an error Trying to get property of non-object
which means that the curl_exec() failed to run
so any ideas what's going wrong??

Edit 1:
So i manged to make it work through this line of code

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false);

which over look the SSL verification is there is any other way

Edit 2:
the php code

if (empty($_POST['clientid']) || $_FILES['upload']['error'] !== 0 || $_FILES['upload']['size'] > 5000000000) {
    exit;
}

$client_id = $_POST['clientid'];

$filetype = explode('/',mime_content_type($_FILES['upload']['tmp_name']));
if ($filetype[0] !== 'image') {
    die('Invalid image type');
}

$image = file_get_contents($_FILES['upload']['tmp_name']);

$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, 'https://api.imgur.com/3/image.json');
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, TRUE);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, TRUE);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array( "Authorization: Client-ID $client_id" ));
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, array( 'image' => base64_encode($image) ));
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false);

$reply = curl_exec($ch);

curl_close($ch);

$reply = json_decode($reply);

echo "<h3>Image</h3>";
printf('<img height="180" src="%s" >', $reply->data->link);

echo "<h3>API Debug</h3><pre>";
var_dump($reply);

the html code

<html>
  <h3>Form</h3>
  <form method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
    <input type="hidden" name="MAX_FILE_SIZE" value="50000" />
    Image (< 50kb): <input type="file" name="upload" /><br/>
    ClientID: <input type="text" name="clientid" /><br/>
    <input type="submit" value="Upload to Imgur" />
  </form>
