Simple PHP cURL file upload to Azure storage blob


I have issues to create a new/simple PHP script/function with cURL to upload simple file (image.jpg) from local server to Azure storage - blob container using Shared Key authentication. I do not want (for other reasons) use SDK and/or multiple files/libraries. I need only one function - fileUpload - and that is it.

Documentation does not provide complete example for upload (POST) with file overwrite. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/rest/api/storageservices/fileservices/authentication-for-the-azure-storage-services

It is also unclear what are required headers to have, and what are required headers to have for signature / authentication attribute. (multiple MSDN sites with different headers, for instance - https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/rest/api/storageservices/fileservices/put-blob

Does someone has simple example on this that would like to share?

<?php
error_reporting(E_ALL);
ini_set('display_errors', 'On');
date_default_timezone_set('UTC');

$destinationURL = 'https://mystorage.blob.core.windows.net/blob1/image.jpg';
$accesskey = "qJXTMmw2Esal8/tXgfWk0RLwMNJ6OQKEt0E8EMZ8VhQrzGi5uqJqeKvi1l7iqnOddp7bdtai5rPpC6ynHttl1w==";
$storageAccount = 'mystorage';
$filetoUpload = realpath('./image.jpg');

function upload($filetoUpload, $storageAccount,$destinationURL,$accesskey) {
    $currentDate = date("D, d M Y H:i:s");

    $postFields = array(
        'extra_info' => '123456',
        'file_contents'=>'@'.$filetoUpload
    );

    $headerText=""
        ."x-ms-version: 2015-02-21\n"  
        ."x-ms-date:" .$currentDate." GMT\n"
        ."Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8\n"  
        ."x-ms-blob-content-disposition: attachment; filename=".$filetoUpload."\n"  
        ."x-ms-blob-type: BlockBlob\n"  
        ."x-ms-meta-m1: v1\n"  
        ."x-ms-meta-m2: v2\n"  
        ;

    $hash = hash_hmac('sha256', $headerText, base64_decode($accesskey), true);
    $sig = base64_encode($hash);

    $headerText.="Authorization: SharedKey ".$storageAccount.":".$sig."\n";
    $headerText.="Content-Length: 280";
    $headers = explode("\n", $headerText);

    $ch = curl_init();
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST, false);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $destinationURL);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST, "PUT");
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $postFields);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, $headers);
    $result = curl_exec($ch);
    echo ('Result<br/>');
    print_r($result);
    echo ('Error<br/>');
    print_r(curl_error($ch));
    curl_close ($ch);
return;
}

upload($filetoUpload, $storageAccount,$destinationURL,$accesskey);

Solution

  • You can try the following code snippet.

    <?php
    
    $accesskey = "qJXTMmw2Esal8/tXgfWk0RLwMNJ6OQKEt0E8EMZ8VhQrzGi5uqJqeKvi1l7iqnOddp7bdtai5rPpC6ynHttl1w==";
    $storageAccount = 'mystorage';
    $filetoUpload = realpath('./image.jpg');
    $containerName = '<yourblobcontainer>';
    $blobName = 'image.jpg';
    
    $destinationURL = "https://$storageAccount.blob.core.windows.net/$containerName/$blobName";
    
    function uploadBlob($filetoUpload, $storageAccount, $containerName, $blobName, $destinationURL, $accesskey) {
    
        $currentDate = gmdate("D, d M Y H:i:s T", time());
        $handle = fopen($filetoUpload, "r");
        $fileLen = filesize($filetoUpload);
    
        $headerResource = "x-ms-blob-cache-control:max-age=3600\nx-ms-blob-type:BlockBlob\nx-ms-date:$currentDate\nx-ms-version:2015-12-11";

            'Content-Length: ' . $fileLen
        ];
    
        $ch = curl_init($destinationURL);
        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false);
        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST, false);
        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, $headers);
        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);

        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_UPLOAD, true); 
        $result = curl_exec($ch);

    uploadBlob($filetoUpload, $storageAccount, $containerName, $blobName, $destinationURL, $accesskey);
