JIRA - How to add attachment for issues using REST API (PHP)

[carol yang]

Hi

I'm now working on attaching attachment for issues based on REST API using PHP. This is my code:

<?php

$ch=curl_init();

$headers = array(

'X-Atlassian-Token: nocheck',

'Content-Type: multipart/form-data'

);

$data = array("file" => "attachments/test.txt");

curl_setopt_array(

$ch,

array(

CURLOPT_URL=>'http://localhost:8080/rest/api/latest/issue/IS-23/attachments',

CURLOPT_POST=>true,

//CURLOPT_HTTPGET =>true,

CURLOPT_VERBOSE=>1,

CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS=>$data,

CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST=> 0,

CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER=> 0,

CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER=>true,

CURLOPT_HEADER=>false,

CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER=> $headers,

CURLOPT_USERPWD=>"test:test"

)

);

$result=curl_exec($ch);

$ch_error = curl_error($ch);

if ($ch_error) {

echo "cURL Error: $ch_error";

} else {

var_dump($result);

}

curl_close($ch);

?>

=============

However, I could got any result. Any ideas?

Thanks

Hi All,

Just confirmed that it is working well on cURL (PHP 5.6)

public function upd_to($resource, $data, $issueID, $jiraURL, $jiraUserName, $jiraUserPassword)
{
    $ch = curl_init();
    curl_setopt_array($ch, array(
        CURLOPT_POST => 1,
        CURLOPT_URL => $jiraURL . '/rest/api/latest/' . $resource . '/' . $issueID . '/attachments',
        CURLOPT_USERPWD => $jiraUserName . ':' . $jiraUserPassword,
        CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS => $data,
        CURLOPT_VERBOSE => 0,
        CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER => true,
        CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER => array('X-Atlassian-Token: nocheck')
    ));
    $result = curl_exec($ch);
    curl_close($ch);
    return json_decode($result, true);
}

Please pay attention to:

$data = array(
    'file' => curl_file_create($filePath)
);

For PHP 5.5+ we should use "curl_file_create" function instead of:

$upd_issue = array(
'file' => "@" . $filePath . ";filename=" . "TEST.mp3"
);

The following code works for me (tested on JIRA version 6.3.12):

<?php
$ch=curl_init();
$headers = array(
    'X-Atlassian-Token: nocheck',
    'Content-Type: multipart/form-data'
);
$data = array("file" => "@filepath/filename.png;filename=filename.png");
curl_setopt_array(
    $ch,
    array(
        CURLOPT_URL=>'http://localhost:8080/rest/api/latest/issue/TEST-01/attachments',
        CURLOPT_POST=>true,
        CURLOPT_VERBOSE=>1,
        CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS=>$data,
        CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST=> 0,
        CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER=> 0,
        CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER=>true,
        CURLOPT_HEADER=>false,
        CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER=> $headers,
        CURLOPT_USERPWD=>"userid:password"
    )
);
$result=curl_exec($ch);
$ch_error = curl_error($ch);
if ($ch_error) {
    echo "cURL Error: $ch_error";
} else {
    var_dump($result);
}
curl_close($ch);
?>
