Remote Upload To Imageshack.Us With PHP+cURL

August 30th, 2008 Admin Leave a comment Go to comments

PHP supports libcurl since V 4.0.2, a library created by Daniel Stenberg (more information go here), that allows you to connect and communicate to many different types of servers with many different types of protocols. libcurl currently supports the http, https, ftp, gopher, telnet, dict, file, and ldap protocols. libcurl also supports HTTPS certificates, HTTP POST, HTTP PUT, FTP uploading (this can also be done with PHP’s ftp extension), HTTP form based upload, proxies, cookies, and user+password authentication.

Now with cURL we trying to make a script that post images to Imageshack.Us via remote upload and return direct link of images. Here the source code to download.

Update Scipt! Please download new version – 20 December 2009.

Pass : smileylover.com

This script should work and return direct link of images that being upload. If the result is empty (error with cURL) it will return Something went wrong with Imageshack?, but if result is empty for preg_match_all function it will return Imageshack.Us Remote Upload Failed Because They Change Layout Again! and send email to your email. Just announcement.

Usually, there’s an error with preg_match_all because Imageshack.Us is change their HTML tag regularly (i think) to avoid script like this (Hey with this script same with block their ads :p ). If an error occurs just come back to here to get update with working script.

DEMO

Regards.

nb: i prefer imageshack.us because they have a lot of bandwith. they allow us to use their bandwith 300MB/hour per single image!

Hey i did like this
<?php

$rwimg = explode(“[IMG]“,$result);
$rw1 = explode(“[/IMG]“,$rwimg[1]);
$viewimg = $rw1[0];

echo “”;

Warning: Warning! Image type not valid or supported.
I try the some image – on your demo is it working. But on my website not.

I really dont know where is fault. I wrote my own app and I am using binary curl through exec and it is working.

I’ve tried replacing the code with that, but now there is no link to the hosted image, only the original image url.
