please convert to base 64,
$photoPath = 'folder/path.jpg';
$getExtension = explode(".",$photoPath);
$base64 = 'data:image/'.$getExtension[1].';base64,'.file_get_contents($photoPath);
$data = json_encode(array(
'chatId'=>$phone.'@c.us',
'body'=> $base64, //how can i make my local image to this URL
'filename'=>$file_name,
'caption'=> $caption
));
I am trying to send image in whatsApp chat by using Chat API,
by reference: https://blog.chat-api.com/manuals_and_tutorials/api_whatsapp_send_file_php/
in this case the code is like this:
$data = json_encode(array(
'chatId'=>$phone.'@c.us',
'body'=>'URL of the image',
'filename'=>'picture.jpg',
'caption'=>'Hey! There is a file!'
));
I am sending chartId,filename and caption from the html form,My html form like this:
<?php
if(isset($_POST['submit'])){
$apiURL = 'api.chat-api.com/instanceXXXXX/';
$token = 'abcdefgABCDEFG';
$phone = $_POST['phone_no'];
$file_name = $_POST['file_name'];
$caption = $_POST['caption'];
$data = json_encode(array(
'chatId'=>$phone.'@c.us',
'body'=>'URL of the image', //how can i make my local image to this URL
'filename'=>$file_name,
'caption'=> $caption
));
$url = $apiURL.'sendFile?token='.$token;
$options = stream_context_create(['http' => [
'method' => 'POST',
'header' => 'Content-type: application/json',
'content' => $data
]
]);
$response = file_get_contents($url,false,$options);
echo $response; exit;
}
?>
<html>
<body>
<form action = '' method = ''>
<input type = "text" name = "phone_no" id = "phone_no" />
<img src = "#" name = "img" id = "img" /> // here local(from my desktop) image is i am displaying
