Upload file from path

[CIRCLE73]

PHP 5.4.27
Is it possible to upload a video file from an existing path instead of having the file in the same folder as the class?
Ex:

$process-> upload("../app_videos/oc_black(1).mp4", "webm" );

Or:

$process-> upload("http://www.domain.com/app_videos/oc_black(1).mp4", "webm" );

Full code:

$apikey="(...my_key...)";
$process = CloudConvert::createProcess("mp4", "webm", $apikey);
$process-> upload("../app_videos/oc_black(1).mp4", "webm" );

if ($process-> waitForConversion()) {
    echo "success";
} else {
    echo "failure";
}

I've tried each one and get this error:
Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'Exception' with message 'couldn't open file "../app_videos/oc_black(1).mp4"' in /(...)/CloudConvert.class.php on line 200

Thank you

Hi,

It should work - we are just passing the input file path to curl. Your error looks like that the file does not exist or the permissions might be wrong. Does file_exists("../app_videos/oc_black(1).mp4") work?

You could also try:

$process-> upload("/full/path/to/app_videos/oc_black(1).mp4", "webm" );

The second possibility is to upload by url, therefor you need the uploadByUrl() method:

$process-> uploadByUrl("http://www.domain.com/app_videos/oc_black(1).mp4", "oc_black(1).mp4", "webm" );

Please let me know if this solves your problem.
