Describe an easy example for purge images in PHP

[shakaran]

According to the documentation about purging images it shows an example for purge via Python, but it seems that there is no example in PHP or a method in this SDK library that implements this in a easy way

It is clear that must obey 3 conditions:

1. Request to https://api.imgix.com/v2/image/purger
2. Use the api key param
3. Know the url to purge

In Curl is using like:

curl "https://api.imgix.com/v2/image/purger" \
  -u "$API_KEY:" \
  -d "url=$URL_TO_PURGE"

Simply replace {IMAGE_URL} and {API_KEY} accordingly @shakaran...

$ch = curl_init();

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, "https://api.imgix.com/v2/image/purger");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, "{\"url\":\"{IMAGE_URL}\"}");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERPWD, {API_KEY});

$headers = array();
$headers[] = "Content-Type: application/json";
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, $headers);

$result = curl_exec($ch);
if (curl_errno($ch)) {
    echo 'Error:' . curl_error($ch);
}
curl_close ($ch);

Hmm, I think the desire is to have a method in the SDK that can abstract all this request building away.

(I need this as well)

Hey folks,

Sorry for the radio silence in this thread. Adding "native" purging into our core SDK libraries is something we're planning to do in the near-to-medium future. We resisted this for a long time because we didn't think that it was worth "cluttering" the core libraries with something that was easily accomplishable in any language with a native HTTP request, but we've since come around and now agree with @atrauzzi: abstracting the messy, curly bits away from common imgix actions such as purging is exactly what this library should be doing.

If anyone wants to take a swing at this we'd happily accept a PR, but otherwise stay tuned 😄.

Sorry @jayeb, you mark this as completed, I don't see any commit or any docs about a sdk method, only the http default request.

@zipus I'm no longer working on this project, but I'll tag in @sherwinski here!

Hey @zipus,
Nowadays we have a separate API for operations like purging, which we are planning to build out support for through a new set of SDKs. For right now we only have a JavaScript library for it, but if you're interested in a php-specific client let me know and I'll add a +1 to our item in the backlog for it.
