Its development was started before Dropbox released their API, and to work, it scrapes their website. So you can and probably should use their API now as it is much more stable. It's the [Dropbox Core API in PHP](https://www.dropbox.com/developers/core/start/php). You can use the Dropbox Uploader to create a file upload form for your website, which uploads files to your dropbox. The [`example.php`](example.php) is a good start; just remove the email/password/destination fields and insert the respective values. Usage ----- [](#usage) ``` require 'DropboxUploader.php'; $uploader = new DropboxUploader('email@address.com', 'password'); $uploader->upload('path/to/a/file.txt'); ``` For a more complete usage example, see [`example.php`](example.php). License ------- [](#license) Dropbox Uploader is licensed under the [MIT License (`MIT`)](http://spdx.org/licenses/MIT). Troubleshooting --------------- [](#troubleshooting) **I'm getting the following error:** ``` Error: Cannot execute request: SSL certificate problem, verify that the CA cert is OK.⤦ ⤥ Details: error:14090086:SSL routines:SSL3_GET_SERVER_CERTIFICATE:certificate verify failed ``` This means that the certificate of the Certification Authority (CA) that Dropbox uses for their SSL certificates is not installed on your system or PHP/cURL is not configured correctly to find it. **If you ARE the system administrator**, try installing the CA certificates bundle to a system-wide location. If you use a package management system, this will ensure that they are kept up to date automatically. On Debian Linux for example, you can install the package ca-certificates. **If you are NOT the system administrator**, you can download just [the needed certificate](http://curl.haxx.se/ca/cacert.pem) and point DropboxUploader to it (before calling the *upload()* method): ``` $uploader->setCaCertificateFile("/absolute/path/to/the/cacert.file"); ``` It is also possible to do this setting in the PHP ini file for PHP 5.3.7 and above. See [`curl.cainfo`](http://php.net/manual/en/curl.configuration.php) for the ini configuration and look for the `CURLOPT_CAINFO` option on [`curl_setopt` (PHP manual)](http://php.net/manual/en/function.curl-setopt.php). Developing ---------- [](#developing) To develop, it is most easy to checkout the [hakre/DropboxUploader](https://github.com/hakre/DropboxUploader) branch: ``` git clone -b development git://github.com/hakre/DropboxUploader cd DropboxUploader ``` Them retrieve the dependencies using Composer: ``` wget http://getcomposer.org/composer.phar php composer.phar install ``` ### Testsuite [](#testsuite) Dropbox Uploader comes with a Phpunit testsuite located in the `test` folder. To get the testsuite configured, copy `phpunit.xml.dist` to `phpunit.xml` and modify the Dropbox email and password credentials and the SSL certificate store configuration (might be required if not set in PHP ini [`curl.cainfo`](http://php.net/manual/en/curl.configuration.php)). If you want to use any of these settings from the commandline, set an environment variable with the same name. Environment variables have a higher priority than the XML configuration; ``` export Dropbox_Credential_Password=your-password-goes-here ``` You can then invoke the testsuite from the projects root directory: ``` vendor/bin/phpunit test ``` ### Branching [](#branching) Development is done against [hakre/DropboxUploader](https://github.com/hakre/DropboxUploader), the *development*branch. Create yourself a new branch from it and name it for every non-trivial changes you want to introduce. Changes are then taken from feature branches into *development* and then into *master*. Expect the development branch to get some force-pushes, just to keep in mind when your development branch diverges - better give your local branch a different name. ### Health Score 36 — LowBetter than 82% of packages Maintenance20 Infrequent updates — may be unmaintained Popularity32 Limited adoption so far Community16 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity62 Established project with proven stability Bus Factor1 Top contributor holds 86.5% of commits — single point of failure How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio.
