How to add assets to Adobe's CQ5 from PHP

Question

I am trying to add content to Adobe's CQ5 DAM with the REST APIs from PHP. Wondering if there are any examples of this, because I am struggling to figure it out.

Answer 1

Following function will upload an image using PUT method, which is enough to add new asset to DAM.

function uploadFile($url, $login, $password, $filePath) {
        $name = basename($filePath);
        $fp = fopen($filePath, 'r');

        $ch = curl_init();
        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, "$url/$name");
        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERPWD, "$login:$password");
        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_PUT, 1);
        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_INFILE, $fp);
        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_INFILESIZE, filesize($filePath));
        $result = curl_exec($ch);
        curl_close($ch);
        fclose($fp);

        return $result;
}

Sample usage:

uploadFile('http://localhost:4502/content/dam/geometrixx',
    'admin',
    'admin',
    'my-picture.jpg');

it will create new DAM asset under /content/dam/geometrixx/my-picture.jpg.
