I’ll show you a PHP code how to upload a local file and get the URL (FileID) from your NextCloud server for your reference.
/** * Get a internl link URL after uploading a local file. * * @param string $upFileFullPath The file Path of the file you want to upload * @param string $dstFolder the dstination folder path of your NextCloud environment. * @param string $nextCloudURL the URL of your NextCloud like "https://yourNC.com/" * @param string $userName Account name of your NextCloud * @param string $password Account password of your NextCloud * @return string|bool return the internal link URL. return false when error occured. */ function upFileAndGetInternalLink($upFileFullPath, $dstFolder, $nextCloudURL, $userName, $password){ if (!is_file($upFileFullPath)){ return false; } $fileName = basename($upFileFullPath); if (substr($nextCloudURL, -1) != '/'){ $nextCloudURL .= '/'; } if (substr($dstFolder, -1) != '/'){ $dstFolder .= '/'; } $apiOfTheUpFile = $nextCloudURL . 'remote.php/dav/files/' . $dstFolder . $fileName; //libxml_use_internal_errors(true); $cmd = "curl -T '" . $upFileFullPath . "' -u '" . $userName . ":" . $password . "' '" . $apiOfTheUpFile . "'"; echo $cmd; $ret = exec($cmd, $aryOutput, $resultCode); if ($ret === false || $resultCode != 0){ return false; } $cmd = "curl -u '" . $userName . ":" . $password . "' '" . $apiOfTheUpFile . "' -X PROPFIND --data '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <d:propfind xmlns:d="DAV:"> <d:prop xmlns:oc="http://owncloud.org/ns"> <oc:fileid /> </d:prop> </d:propfind>'"; $ret = exec($cmd, $aryOutput, $resultCode); if ($ret === false || $resultCode != 0){ return false; } $ret = str_replace(':','',$ret); $xml = simplexml_load_string($ret); $fileId = (string)$xml->dresponse->dpropstat->dprop->ocfileid; return $nextCloudURL . "index.php/f/" . $fileId; }
How to use the function
$upFileFullPath = '/td/dr/hogehoge.xlsx'; // the uploaded file name will be "hogehoge.xlsx" as same as this file name. $nextCloudURL = 'https://yourNextCloud.com/'; // your nextcloud URL $dstFolder = '/YourName/All/'; // $dstFolder always starts from your account name. The path is after the "data" dir of your NextCloud environment. $userName = 'YourName'; $password = 'xH6Jk-Hkdje-OPalkd-J4PCn-mqxMW'; // app password echo upFileAndGetInternalLink($upFileFullPath, $dstFolder, $nextCloudURL, $userName, $password);
