I have about 300 images I want
to upload
to my new Tumblr account, becuase my old wordpress site got hacked and I no longer wish
to use wordpress.
I uploaded one image a day for 300 days, and I'd like
to be able
to take these images and upload them
to my tumblr site using the api.
The images are currently local, stored in /images/. They all have the
date they were uploaded as the first ten characters of the filename, (01-01-2009-filename.png) and I went
to send this
date parameter along as well. I want
to be able
to see the progress of the script by outputting the responses from the API
to my error_log. Here is what I have so far, based on the tumblr api page.
// Authorization info
$tumblr_email = '
[email protected]';
$tumblr_password = 'password';
// Tumblr script parameters
$source_directory = "images/";
// For each file, assign the file
to a pointer
here's the first stumbling block. How do I get all of the images in the directory and loop through them? Once I have a for or while loop set up I assume this is the next step
$post_data = fopen(dir(__FILE__) . $source_directory . $current_image, 'r');
$post_date = substr($current_image, 0, 10);
// Data for new record
$post_type = 'photo';
// Prepare POST request
$request_data = http_build_query(
array(
'email' => $tumblr_email,
'password' => $tumblr_password,
'type' => $post_type,
'data' => $post_data,
'
date' => $post_date,
'generator' => 'Multi-file uploader'
)
);
// Send the POST request (with cURL)
$c = curl_init('http://www.tumblr.com/api/write');
curl_setopt($c, CURLOPT_POST, true);
curl_setopt($c, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $request_data);
curl_setopt($c, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
$result = curl_exec($c);
$status = curl_getinfo($c, CURLINFO_HTTP_CODE);
curl_close($c);
// Output response
to error_log
error_log($result);
So, I'm stuck on how
to use PHP
to read a file directory, loop through each of the files, and do things
to the name / with the file itself. I also need
to know how
to set the data parameter, as in choosing multi-part / formdata. I also don't know anything about cURL.
